I've had problems with the street sign "captcha" (?) myself, not knowing whether a section containing part of the support (pole or whatever) for the sign constitutes something I should click on or not; then, after exasperatingly fruitless efforts stretching out excessively in the direction of time's inexorable arrow (unless you're a quantum elementary particle) choosing the auditory or oral route and being unable for unknown reasons to play the sound file. I have therefore come to conclusion that I am indeed some kind of robot. I think you may need to man up like I did (perhaps not the appropriate expression here) and face up to the fact that you might not be human.

The pole doesn't count as part of the sign but sometimes there's a
rectangle that contains a very small portion of the sign, although google
thinks it doesn't, which can make you fail to verify. They're also a bit
vague about what constitutes a shop front or a car.
The irony being that to ensure we're *not* a robot, their capture image
is created and checked by a robot. Badly.

Yes, a rectangle with a small portion of something which may be part of a sign, but isn't a sign, so, I wonder exactly, when is a sign not a sign? When it no longer signals anything, has been deprived of its semantic content, and this stumps me, also, because I ask myself--is that not yet another sort of a sign? A symbol of a sign's absence? Jocular excursions, of course, but this reminds me of a short story by Nabokov, "Signs and Symbols" (which the New Yorker editor who first published it in 1948 decided to change to "Symbols and Signs." Jesus, what's that a sign of when some high-brow editor tells a literary genius to displace two words in a three-word title?

And there's the problem, at least in part; Ute is Australian in origin
(AIUI), google are an American company. The terminology google use
seems to be not internationally transferable with a 100% correlation.
Sadly, I've sometimes failed to verify because what's shown was clearly
*not* a car - google disagreed.
I've given up using sites (except one banking site[1]) that use
recaptcha to avoid the (largely unnecessary) frustration. I'd stop using
that site too, but postage is bloody expensive here. :-(
[1] That a banking web site hands off part of its security measures to
google I find a little worrying.

As G. themselves say: reCAPTCHA offers more than just spam protection. Every time our CAPTCHAs are solved, that human effort helps digitize text, annotate images, and build machine learning datasets. This in turn helps preserve books, improve maps, and solve hard AI problems. https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/invisible.html The future is now, I guess; we've been enlisted as (un)knowing slaves by our digital machines. The real catch is that it is the same for whatever we do on the global network; it's all being harvested, digested, utilized; soon they will know us so much better than we know them, the better to bend us to their cryptic wills.
