The cryptoverse is absolutely brimming with items that require the completion of Captchas, and participating for long periods of time, you begin to notice patterns. A few years ago, it seemed like every Captcha or ReCaptcha was an image from Google Street View where we were asked to prove our ability as drivers to recognize when a bicycle was on the road, but recently the Captcha, ReCaptcha, and HCaptcha are starting to look more and more like the images that you get from an AI image generator, and vice versa:

Which leads me to wonder whether Captcha is asking us humans to tell it which of the images it presents is representing the thing that another human has asked an AI image generator to produce?

When requesting an image, generation is usually not instant:

Is that "up to 2 minutes" representative of how long it takes to get enough humans to complete a captcha that gives it enough confidence to present each of the images it produces?

For those of us in pagan nations like the US, the end of October is home to a holiday called "Halloween" or "All Hallows' Eve." The most iconic representation specific to this holiday is probably the jack-o-lantern. So is this indication that people are trying to get AI to produce images of Jack-o-Lanterns?

If so, whoever you are doing those searches, you should know that you can just ask the AI to produce an image of a Jack-o-Lantern (albeit with somewhat.... spooky... results).

Perhaps it would improve if people stopped clicking things that were sortof like the prompt but not really right:

Personally, I'm much more fond of the Captcha image with pumpkins on the Starry Starry Night background:

Especially this one where there's pumpkins in the sky as a stars:

So what do you think?? Should we all start requesting images of the easter bunny to see if we can mess with the seasonal captchas??
