I'm more annoyed by having to enter my postal code and date of birth every time. We shouldn't have to enter our date of birth and age as well. Edited 09-Sep-23 04:17am

it's a wasteful step to have to prove that you are not a computer, as well, that you cannot be as fast and or faster than a computer during a survey (so many screen outs because I am a fast typer/survey taker while accurately answering the questions).

Yes, its too much at this point

When you need to identify an object in multiple pictures and fail because you either missed one or misinterpreted the picture

Its just stupit

No 5 is alive..!!!

i do want a robot to do my housework just quietly.

WHEN YOU HAVE 6 OR 7 REDICULAS QUESTIONS WAISTING YOUR TIME WHEN YOU KNOW THAT AT THE END YOU WILL BE SCREAMED OUT, WHAT ARE THEY TRYING TO APART FROM @3-*%@ YOU OFF. THEY ACHIEVE NOTHING APART FROM PROVING THEY ARE NOT LOGICAL ROBOTS.

Forget about the robots I am more worried about the lab growing embryos of humans that is apparently happening now...Of course all in the name of science!

AI will make humans obsolete one day.

Yes I’m sick of robots let’s just get on with it

I'm tired of having to tell a robot why I'm calling. There should be a law requiring businesses to have a real person answering the phone.

part of doing surveys so I do it, since some use AI to do the surveys

You need to understand Computer Logic it is not like Human Logic never will be and never can be this is why AI stands for Always Incompetent because it can never be any better. A perfect example was the Y2K bug where the older BIOS's would revert to their base setting when the year rolled over to 2000. Now computer logic says that you can not have a bit of programing script written 3 or 4 years from the date today but when the Y2K rolled around it was very possible to have a piece of software written in 1999 and the computer thinks today date is 1/1/1985 so it can not execute the code which in most cases was the base Operating System of the Computer. Thankfully most of the updates had been put in place before that happened but we still had many systems that just failed to start on a reboot after you tricked them into thinking it was after January 1 2000. We even had new systems fail to restart on Jan 1 2000 which we had bought in to replace the ones we knew would not work so we had to do other things to workaround the issue. Now that was a simple thing just throw something several levels more complicated at a AI and see what they come up with no matter how well their programers claim that have been programed.

I can't understand what the world is becoming. Inventions were supposed to improve our lifestyle, not f--- them up.

I find it really stupid, senseless and useless these “proving that you’re not a robot”. Well, whoever invented it, sure it wasn’t a robot!

I wholeheartedly agree with what everyone has said!! What is the world coming to.

No idea

Absolutely. But I'd rather not have to use biometrics etc to prove who I am. The phrase "Problem, reaction, solution" comes to mind.

Make sure you are not falling asleep. : ))

If you go to Red Bubble you can now get a t-shirt with the CAPTCHA I am not a robot on it! Edited 07-Sep-23 16:03pm

What is a ro bot please explain

Sometimes even talking to a human does not work. Sometimes I have had to tell the human I will only talk to their boss.

there is away but those who are controlling them and making a lot of money along the way are not going to do it and when their stupid robots start to attack them it will be far to late and humanity as we know it will be destroyed because the robots will have evovled too much on their own to stop them otherwise they would stop now and get rid of all of them but they will not i pity all those who are left when that happens

AI and Robotics can, and indeed are, very Useful in some situtaions BUT in so many instances they are nothing more than an inconvenient, time-consuming, or is that Destroying?, pain in the butt!! Systems are built with deliberate SEcurity measures which is acceptable and necessary but surely when we log-in at our work, to surveys once we do so, and the foirst time we do so, that authentication should be in place for 24 hours? To be told by some Robot or AI installation that we are not a Human but some Robot/AI algorythm just goes to show how much AI has already been allowed to rule our lives. What's next? Being told when we need to, or can go to the toilet? To Eat? to Sleep? To Die? AI and Robotics can be useful if used in PHYSICAL situations which might be too dangerous for a man or woman to undertake but to have either controlling our day-to-day, ordinary, non-dangerous lives, such as Work, Taking part in Surveys is, patently absurd. I use a Password and a Finger Print to access my phone, that is all I need and I most certainly do not need some AI system, controlled entirely by someone I have never, nor ever will, met is a step too far.

When I call a service, and then I have to prove it's me with my name, birthdate and so forth. But then it is stupid when they say proove it's me again, with a pin number they send to my phone (can't they already see I'm using my phone) that is very a annoying one.

I heard a story from a friend recently regarding this very thing. The friend is a past School Teacher. 15-year-old grandson presents essay at school. Results back - fail not acceptable due to AI result. Plagiarism. The boys' mother reads, and they then work together to rewrite the paragraph in question, result the same. After 8 attempts by family members assisting the boy and changing the entire context of the paragraph and still being rejected Mum attends school to make a complaint. Result - sorry, unsure why this happened, we will pass the essay. Difficult to understand the reasoning behind ongoing results in this instance, guess it's something we are going to see a lot of in the future in many areas of our life. Like anything Good or Bad in things, but I think this, as has been stated before could be a total disaster to mankind.

Elizabeth T 396096 All that you have written is a sign of the times. That's Life People. deponch

Yes well it should be an awful lot easier than it actual is. One thing with AI is they sense you are getting upset and it says I understand your frustration because it can not answer a simple question like is Telstra working in my area today or is my power supposed to be off right now? Frustrating extremely I wanted to throw the laptop out the window but I didn't and I just said Thank you for not answering my question. I won't be asking again unless I can talk to a human. I have learnt my lesson.

Yes indeed Elizabeth every best wish Robert

My greatest annoyance is " Chat Bots " , you type a couple of lines about what your problem is and they type back that they cannot help you but will put you through to a service rep. Then you get disconnected and a message of " Thank you for reaching out today, would you like to start another chat?" WT.....

I just give up.

Drives me crazy!

Those stupid, idiotic, brain damaged CAPTCHA tests are absolutely the worst! Survey companies should be ashamed of themselves for using this service!

nearly all surveys i do have ARE you a robot and then they ask you to identify certain things.cars buses.bridges

I'm sick of the complexity of life being thrust upon us. I need simple again.

it is the way of the future and i am glad i wont be in that future

It is very annoying. I see it a lot in surveys.

I am glad not a robot.

Facial recognition is the way to go. Passwords drive me insane.

Sometimes I feel that I'm a robot. Should I confess to a robot that I'm a robot?

Im glad I’m at the end of my life Life was some much easier when I was a kid I feel so sorry for the future generstions

If telephones were answered by actual people instead of recorded messages on a machine. If people were employed to do the work rather than machines then things would be done quicker. The task would be easier and more pleasant and definitely less annoying. Technology is moving way too fast. There is no need for the speed that it is moving at. Where are we rushing to? Our destruction?.

News Flash, Drum Roll.: There is one thing that they cannot do which Call Centres are trying to "de-programn" in humans and that is take a "toilet break". Yay on big leap for humanity, just let us not give our self with a major leak, or they will take over even that mundane ritual from us!Edited 07-Sep-23 09:27am

I hate the idea of AI and a lot of employs are going to loose there jobs which is not right

Life was so much better without all this technology. Back to basics and enjoying the face to face interactions. Our lives are being destroyed and inconvenienced by all this hacking. We do not need robots and the like otherswise let's just spend all our time on our computers and let real life pass us by.

As AI takes over in the next two or three years, it will be a must to prove you are not a robot. Unfortunately they will take all human jobs, we cheer it on now but it won't be long before we regret that.

I love Ai it so much better

You know I thinkwe should do is take AI to demolish the dark web, send a robot to dismantle it like a worm and get rid of it.

Rarely have problems with robots/authentication. It's to help prevent hackers and other sinister behaviours. It may be inconvenient but it's there to protect us.

Thart is totally right get rid of the AR voice mail jail. You should hear what I call these stupid robots on voice mail. They are so dumb especially when they say I will connect , I say you do that jack and you dumb computer, or I call them a Jumoke.

Thank goodness

I am me

Sometimes it's easier to use a 'bot' than a real person. Ring up, 12th in line, cue music, wait, you are now first in line (get excited), explain the issue, can't understand them, please hold, talk to next person, explain again, please hold, listen to looped music on speaker phone now because the sun is starting to set and you have to get things done! Then they accidentally disconnect you by pushing the wrong button.

Those damn robots almost make me wish I dialed a call center in India, and got 'Tom'. Almost. Though, the chickens in the background were soothing.

COMPASSION AND UNDERSTANGING OF HUMAN NEEDS WHICH ROBOTS DON'T HAVE . THESE MEANS THAT THEY HAVE NO INTELLECT AT ALL. ROBOTS ARE ROBOTS , MORE THAN ROBOTS THEMSELVES.

"Saliva". Robot have no saliva. "Blood" Robot have no blood

Absolutely annoys the hell out of me.

Yes I'm sick of it

I said good morning to Alexa this morning and she is on strike and ignored me. This is not the first time the robot ignored me. Edited 07-Sep-23 06:16am

i am human, don't need a robot....

Take me to your leader😀🤑

robots how can i use one?

What I like even less is having to get a verification code when you are paying a bill. Hey, if someone else wants to pay my bill go for it!

Don't have a favorite failed human test, since I have never been classified as a HUMAN! Besides, nothing lasts forever, hence 'incompetent' humans are being replaced by 'competent' robots - WELCOME TO CAPITALISM (aka profits over people) - YOU DO LIKE CAPITALISM?

I get why the surveys ask if we're human because robots can buy up tickets to concerts and stuff and then sell them at a huge profit. They aren't always nice with their intelligence. Plus, maybe they've had bots do surveys and that would really mess up results.

I don't like the chat box in the lower right corner when you log onto a site for help with a problem. The stupid thing doesn't understand what I'm typing and just keeps repeating the same stupid questions or telling me to call when there is a person to talk to. Why have the stupid bot there at all? I'd much rather they put up a message saying there's nobody in right now and to call this number between these hours. Leave out the stupid bot machine that is no help at all and just makes me angry? Do you get that I think these things are stupid?

Recaptchas are becoming more difficult and more time-consuming

Yes. I am very tired of situations like this!

Work used to have a survey which was supposed to determine if a person would be a good employee and I found most of the people who passed were the ones who didn't last but when they went back to interviews being based on personal interaction only it was better people stayed a bit longer

If Will Smith had been a robot, it might excuse some of the things he's done.

The day is coming when you won't be able to tell the difference between a human & robot. It's coming quicker than you think.

I have run into the same things as everyone else (above and the comments below). The most annoying thing is that the pix and numbers that you have to click on to verify yourself are often so blurry or faded that one cannot tell. I am tired of buses, motorcycles bridges, etc. Give some porn pix at least to keep it interesting.

I hate those robot things. It is one of my pet peeves. One time I had one with letters and it was not working, so they had where you could listen to the letters. you could hardly make it out....i was sitting there yelling at my computer LOL. It is very aggravating.

I HATE when you have to check the "not a robot" box, then have to prove it when a picture comes on the screen and you have to click on all the boxes with bicycles, cars, bridges, etc. because half the time it's a picture of a guy on a motorcycle, or one bus, or something like that and if you click on a few boxes, it's usually not enough, and if you click all the boxes that cover the whole photo of the bus or whatever it is, that still doesn't work, and they put a new picture on the screen and the same thing happens! Or, they'll say click on all the pictures of stairs, for example, then after you do that, they'll put a few more for you to click! One time, this whole dumb process went on for so long, I ended up saying a word out loud which I won't repeat and gave up for a while!!! Okay, just had to vent for a bit, I feel better now! Edited 07-Sep-23 00:56am

When I log into Rewardia, it comes up with the screen asking me to check off all the motorcycles, crosswalks, etc. I don't understand this because if I'm logging in with my email and password and it also has a spot to check off "I'm not a robot" on the login screen, then why do we have to go through the test of checking things off? Isn't my login id, password and clicking "I'm not a robot" enough? And since I log in with the same id and password since I've joined Rewardia, did I become a robot one day lol, or is this in case a robot took over my account?Edited 07-Sep-23 00:42am

I just truly over them already. You phone a company and you get one of these voice activated robots that goes on and on and then they disconnect you. So much for customer service. Why do we have to prove we are not robots for heavens sakes.
