I still don't know where the hippos came from. They started appearing after the like 3rd time failing the captcha. It started out as like cat cookies and bunnies and got more deranged with each fail.
Really funny if it wasn't super frustrating at the time.
So the first round was cat faces and bunnies and that failed and then that became cookie cat faces, where I'm still not entirely sure some of them were cookies and those failed. And then it started doing weird cookie blobs and hippos and dramatic bunnies.
I failed the captcha 7 times before I simply gave up and opened the webpage in Firefox to finish my purchase.
If they are gonna use prompts like that... They shouldn't use prompts like that.
I got this exact same cookie and turtle image prompt for a captcha, except the options were a techno rainbow background with random disfigured raccoon faces. I think someone poisoned that particular model and no one in the team has noticed.
Maybe? I had to pass 3 in a row to clear the captcha and it yelled at me every time I thought I was getting it right. And decided I wasn't human by the third each time.
I just made a browser swap until it stopped asking me to do a captcha at all.
It really felt like whoever tagged the image and set the generative images didn't communicate and failed somewhere to connect. Which made it a really bad captcha.
This captcha wanted something from me that I just don't know what. It's like they tested a new AI image generation tool and it got every single prompt wrong to let me succeed it.
The only right way to play was to not play at all.
