What on earth.. is this captcha some kind of joke?

https://ibb.co/3yW9mjj

I'm a human but it's not clear what the "challenge" even is that needs to be completed.

And after you get it wrong, it doesn't kick you out, it just flashes a toast message like "User failed captcha".

Twilight zone material.



Write the alphanumerics connected by a green line, i.e. connect (connected) the dots. I dunno, I immediately recognised it .


I swear I tried that.. guess I'm a bot ^^


What is the final character? It looks like a backwards 7 or Cyrillic G.


It’s just 7. How is it backwards?


Careful, don't teach the bots. Just let them fail to recognize. There is literally a 7 in the image on the keyboard proving it's not backwards.


Bot detected


Maybe ChatGPT with an image recognition plugin could help us solve these


Agreed, this is a terrible captcha because O and 0 look nearly identical but it fails you if you mix up these two.


I just hit accept with a blank input and it accepted it
