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...
I manage the designers, so I'm not the absolute expert. But from what they tell me... there is no real choice (if you're using the Google implementation), it's up to Google on if the eCAPTCHA is shown, and you don't have a choice if it's easy/hard or buses vs. bicycles vs. crosswalks.
 
But it was never about human verification. I recall watching a video that Google had found a way to verify human activity with just the mouse movements and other parameters. Captchas were still reintroduced so they can train their car driving AIs for free. That’s why the captchas always only have images related to driving/roads/backgrounds.
Doesn’t make much sense. The newest version only requires a single click and it’s been out for a few years iirc.

When you come up with captchas that require you to click an image, it’s most likely because the website hasn’t updated the captchas to the latest version.

Dude mind blown, everything just clicked.

That's disappointing, I always liked playing the "click pictures of crosswalks" as a mini-game. I wish someone would make an app with nothing but captchas.
All jokes aside, I'm surprised Google hasn't done this already. Game-ify AI training by making a Captcha game.
 
So now the question becomes:
Will this eventually beat captcha, or is this just a new arms race for AI against other AI?
 
crosswalk
For us in the UK, what is a crosswalk?

(Don't worry - I think most of us have probably worked it out. :) )

But if it had been the other way, we could have had UK Captcha asking people around the world to identify Belisha beacons, zebra, pelican, panda, puffin, toucan and pegasus crossings! Now that really would have confused. (I know most, but not all, of those.)

Love it! I mean the Russian bots posting on my work's "Contact Me" session are already getting around CAPTCHA. Hopefully, this will allow more scrutiny for the non iOS/MacOS devices.
 
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.
Interesting theory.

Anything is possible, but not certain how a certification of authentication for outbound validation would allow remote access. Seems like saying new headlights will enable TSA to capture GPS of all the cars. The two functions are not closely related.

Sounds cap. I often have to pick boats and storefronts with Chinese or Japanese lettering on them.
 
This is going to be another amazing Apple iOS/macOS feature that will be in the "it just works" category.
 
I’ve noticed that some sites require that I turn off my content blockers and reload the page before the captcha appears.

I’ve often thought this is being deliberately done so that both Google and the site can generate ad revenue.

So I’m kinda curious to see how this new feature works with content blockers enabled.

Wonder if this is a reason Apple is offering this feature, to reduce the rate at which Google’s AI can learn.

I don’t think this is Apple’s motivation, just a side benefit of improve customer login experience.

Also think it becomes necessary when FiDO is introduced.
 
Next will be when MacOS knows how to finish my work with just a touch of TouchID. Make them neural cores work.

I always wondered in Terminator how SkyNet managed to get past the 'I am not a robot' prompts as mankind's last line of defence. Now I know that it's iOS16 that's the beginning of the end for us all.
