Is it my imagination or ...

are these things getting harder to get right the first, second or third time?

When it comes to capchas, robots are probably better at solving them than humans. Sad but true.

Hey Doug
You bet the catchyas are getting harder. That's because we robot poets are getting wiser. Check out my post over at the Florian Cafe

Oh God, I hope not!

It is not just your imagination; I've noticed this also. Could age have anything to do with it? (Surely not....)

Thank goodness it isn't just me who needs a second opinion on these things!

Hi Aaron,

Scary thing is that I remember watching Lost in Space when it was new in prime time.

Hi Stephen,

Probably more logical - even when it comes to fuzzy logic.

Enjoyed your computer ethics post. I am writing one to complement it.

Hi Douglas,

Loved the poem.

Might the only way to "prove you are a human" be to complain about being treated like a robot? A robot wouldn't care, would it?

Hi Betsy,

I think putting on my reading glasses makes it worse!

Doug

Nathan,


I've already been assimilated. I think it happened when I bought an iPhone.

Hi Steve,

Sounds like there are a number of us. Misery loves company?
