Maybe I am actually a robot...

Ok so funny story...

I don't know if it is because I am blind in one eye, or have just always struggled with typed font, or whatever, but I can NEVER get one of those Captcha's right on the first try.

Never.

Ever.

I understand why they exist, but I am seriously starting to question if I actually exist as a real person, or if I am just a robot parading around in a skin suit.


(Or am I?)

I also sometimes find that my reasoning skills and deductions are somewhat mechanical and robotic-like. Perhaps it's the INTJ in me, but things are always pretty cut and dry for me, not much grey area.


(Dat me.)

In all seriousness, please for the love of Frank (Castle, btw) tell me I am not the only one who struggles to type out a Captcha correctly on the first try!!

I will sleep a lot better knowing that I am not an idiot and/or a robot.

I hope you are all doing well! It has been good being back here more regularly.

Business is starting to pick up at my job, but I am determined to stay around here more regularly. I have really missed the interaction!

I think I struggle with them because I'm colorblind, but it also might be because they are usually a bunch of jumbled, twisted garbage.
You are not alone.

I read an article a couple months ago where the author argued that Google has been intentionally making it more difficult, because it's free labor for them. Average time to completion went from 8 seconds to more than 30 seconds. See link #4, here.
