> But the biggest issue, is that Google's CAPTCHAs become unsolveable. I mean literally they wont let you pass. You will get served a large sequence of captchas. I've experienced up to 6 for a single verification. And not only do you get more, but they deliberately add an excruciatingly slow delay to each image. It can take 10-15 seconds to solve a single image set, and then you still need to do 5 more.
All of which is an obnoxious form of unpaid labor to train their AIs.
Add: It's nicely clever, and it should be appreciated if it advances technology as a whole by enabling self-driving cars etc. sooner, but I can't help but feel offended whenever going through its "hard mode."
