So my iPhone is not a robot! Awesome!
The devil is in the details, which we don't know yet.
This could very well be a government mandated NSA backdoor protected by a national security letter. That way the NSA or other gov TLA orgs have direct evidence of what sites you are signing into and can turn on direct tracking in the browser. Tell me we've not heard of more outlandish things from NSA, FBI, CIA leakers.

It uses the Secure Enclave. I don't think privacy will be an issue.
If you watch the video, there are PLENTY of details.
Personally, I like the constant reminders that my eyesight isn't what it used to be.
It’s so obvious that everyone posting in favor of this is a bot.
I can’t see how useful it is. Since I often have to give wrong answers to get it right. So, I like I’m sure many others, have adapted and know what it likely got wrong. To solve the captcha. Rather than give it the correct answer and have to solve a second one.Interesting. Hopefully it reaches wide support, although I doubt that some companies would. Eg I don’t think Google would support this as solving captcha is a way to train Google’s AI, or so I’m told…
Some it is the worst at is differentiating between motorcycles, scooters and bicycles. Often it thinks all are the same. Another being crosswalks. Where it doesn’t thing the blank space between the perpendicular and parallel lines is part of the crosswalk.
The Software releases keep looking better and better. Looks like there is tons of polish and clever little ideas.
This is correct. As long as Google reCAPTCHA dominates, we won't see much difference. Companies would have to introduce this alongside that, and good luck doing that!Interesting. Hopefully it reaches wide support, although I doubt that some companies would. Eg I don’t think Google would support this as solving captcha is a way to train Google’s AI, or so I’m told…
My hope is that many companies use form builders to create their website forms, so hopefully those will be updated by the company that sells that software to automatically authenticate. For instance, we have a large deployment of Gravity Forms across hundreds of websites, which is a popular WordPress plugin which already has Akismet and Google reCAPTCHA built-in. If the vender added support for this and enabled it by default as an authentication option which supersedes other authenticators, that would add no extra work for my team to deploy.
Even better would be if Akismet themselves added this as they are really popular on WordPress. The vast majority of our sites only need Akismet and we only add reCAPTCHA if they start having problems with spam. We do this to reduce friction for the end user so we can maximize conversions. Bypassing reCAPTCHA would be great for conversions as we always see a dip with it because people get frustrated when trying to provide training data for Google's AI.

IDK about anyone else, but I actively try to thwart Google's AI. I'll always throw another image in there each time that doesn't belong to see how it responds. Usually if you have enough accurate photos it accepts the data, lol. Sometimes it kicks it to another set of images, and I'll do the same thing again. I think you just have to get the score high enough to pass as human, but then my false positives are hopefully screwing up their training data, because I can't stand Google and their horrible privacy practices.
This needs to be implemented yesterday. I’m so sick of sitting there like a moron trying to decide if the tiny piece of a car’s side view mirror that’s sticking out over the square line is enough to require that square being selected.

The sentient google AI is amazing at identifying photos with school busses.
Thank goodness. This will be very nice!

My first thought exactly. Google won't like this.
Are the characteristics up to your choice as a website designer or is it fixed ? What kind of characteristics is that ?
As a non robot internet user, I would be so happy to avoid this nuisance...
Captcha isn’t private.
It’s also not just a security measure.
Captcha uses your result and sells it to machine learning systems for cars and spy camera systems.
When you use captcha you are teaching all the spy camera systems around the world.
The same spy camera systems that are used to oppress innocent people.
It’s a monstrous system that should have been banned years ago but politicians asleep because blood drinking corporations like Palantir pay money for all that data.
Is Google trying to ’punish’ people for adding more and more privacy. Seems like trying to be more and more annoying with CAPTCHA’s.
This is a little bizarre for me… isn’t captcha supposed to avoid the repeat submission of forms via automatic means?
Theoretically tying a captcha to faceID would allow someone to pay people a ludicrously small fee to just stand there for hours letting faceID pick their faces up so the bot can keep sending fraudolent requests
There’s already services that offer captcha resolution by literally having a room full of people clicking them for you, this would make that even more trivial unless I’m missing something
