CAPTCHAs are an unfortunate side outcome of the internet . They ’re those rag compendium of numbers and varsity letter morphed into some Surrealist dreck that entrust us guessing , and guesswork , and guess . Google need to improve all of that with update to reCAPTCHA , a one - click solution for evidence site that you are , in fact , a human being .
Would n’t abandoning those Dali - similar distortions defeat the purpose of protecting websites from bot ? Not really , Google says , because the older CAPTCHA system was n’t cultivate that great anyways :
While the new reCAPTCHA API may sound simple , there is a high arcdegree of sophistication behind that pocket-size checkbox . CAPTCHAs have long trust on the unfitness of robots to solve distorted text edition . However , our research recently showedthat today ’s Artificial Intelligence technology can solve even the most difficult var. of distorted text at 99.8 % truth . Thus distort textual matter , on its own , is no longer a dependable trial run .
So or else of the unwieldy CAPTHA you ’re used to , Google ’s new API uses a “ risk of infection analysis ” engine to determine whether you may get around the reCAPTCHA with just a quick clink , or if there involve to be further analysis that you are indeed flesh and line of descent . However , that more thwarting process should befall much less often . harmonize to Google , situation like WordPress and Humble Bundles , which have already adopted the new API , have let user pass by with just one - get across 60 and 80 percent of the fourth dimension , respectively .
Google also wants to make reCAPTCHAs mobile - favorable since increasingly more and more of our computing is done on a smartphone or tablet . For this , Google relies on pull a fast one on bots with Computer Vision problem . For us humans , it ’s just a fun game of clicking mental image that pair a devote clues , such as kittens or Republic of Turkey .
Unfortunately , CAPTCHAs are a permanent secureness of the net , so they ’ll still be sticking around in some form , but Google wants to make them a little more invisible and also include kittens , both of which I wholeheartedly support . [ Google BlogviaWired ]
