There have been major advances in AI and image recognition, particularly street signs and food....

Should have gone to Specsavers?

Lazy is such an ugly word, I prefer to call it selective participation

I also had this issue when logging in to GZ on my new phone (desktop site). Took ages to correctly pass the CAPTCHA system (street signs, and road name signs). Quite frustrating. I even tried the audio system instead of the images, but even that took a couple of goes.

Basically you are training Google engine to determine what a pizza and street sign is and improving the AI awareness. However there are others out there that intentionally sabotage this process by introducing minor errors into this logic by training this engine incorrectly :)

I've just been through a sequence of 16 sets of nine fuzzy pictures of street signs hidden behind bushes before finally get to copy random text into another text box. :(

You're still doing better than my login attempt on a Raspberry Pi, which told me that I hadn't completed a captcha that never appeared in the first place.
