I have a hand gesture for it.

So, training AI to read hands more correctly, or trying to make an AI sign language interpreter.

This is the biggest "hell no" thing I'll probably see this week.

I now mess around with all captchas. Each time a site asks me to find x or click on y. I purposely click the wrong ones to help feed the algorithm!

YouTube TV has this questionaire that says what brands have you heard of. It offers 4 brands and none of the above. However the Nimrods made it a checkbox instead of radio button. So of course every time I gladly fill out their survey. I say I've heard of all four and also none of the above. Anything to poison the data!

I think you're about 20 years too late to have any impact

I can think of only one gesture

When this can be faked in the near future, they'll be asking for ass thermometers and anus gestures.

I don't care what site it is but if i get that popup i won't be visiting that site anymore.

Do they need to capture my face as well?

Sounds like googles got a model that can mimic human hand gestures really well and want to prevent other companies from being able to scrape the Internet for AI training

Lmfao anything to try to get a snap of your face.

[–] Nytefyre@piefed.social 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well, be prepared to be flipped off a lot. It's what I did whenever Instagram or Facebook asked for a video verification of sorts.
