was briefly baffled by this CAPTCHA until i realized it was asking me to identify the animal that was bigger than the other animals in the picture, not the animal that, in real life, is bigger than roughly 1cm
we are rapidly approaching the point at which CAPTCHAs clever enough to keep the bots out are too confusing for the humans

Also some crabs get very very large.

in reply to Molly White • • •I suspect that whoever wrote the captcha text didn't stop to consider choice of words, quite possibly not even realising that there'd be a problem.
Your description, @molly0xffff, tells me that s/bigger/biggest/ would be appropriate.

I've written about the ridiculousness of CAPTCHAs and how they're an accessibility nightmare. Most things that claim to distinguish humans from computers are really just separating users into groups of "desirable" and "undesirable."
If anything, this mosaic of blurry animal jpegs and confusing instructions just makes that categorization even more obvious.
What a time to be alive 🙃

in reply to Molly White • • •few days ago I was not able to pass the Dalle-E captcha, I was not able to understand what it was asking.
I had to align an hammer in the same direction of an hand, both of them oriented vertically. I know it sounds like it make no sense, but it was!
It took me 4 tries before understand

in reply to Molly White • • •Honestly surprised they haven't gone with the anti-captcha yet.
Make a test that a bot can pass immediately but a human fails, like some patch of noise that does well in adversarial attacks.
If you win, you're a bot.
