Mind-blowing short film

I'll say nothing of the plot because you'll enjoy it more if you don't know what's coming. Except to note that the protagonist is a music producer, a detail I missed at first but becomes significant in retrospect. We're not told what her specific job is, only that she works in a studio. In the opening scene, she's listening to music and has a DAW open. Then the software insists that it needs to be updated, which starts us down the rabbit hole. Enjoy.

I've had a captcha that seemed to not believe i was a human.

I'm now slowing down my click time when i run into a captcha because it proved to be the speed in which i clicked items and buttons that was the problem.

The sad thing is each previous iteration of Captcha was eventually circumvented by AI. Alan Turing imagined a scenario in which humans needed to determine whether they were talking to another human or to a computer. He didn't imagine that someday we'd have to routinely prove we're human - to a computer.

Since the correct answer never works on the first or second time (it's an AI trick to get us to move the mouse and click inside a frame as some sadistic but probably money making exercise in futility)I have a personal method for dealing with those fraudulent captchas:  I randomly click all around and sooner or later click on the "Verify" button.  Most of the times I get another unsolvable puzzle.  Every so often it seems like the AI catches on to my random moving and clicking and either just lets me escape further punishment or it gives me a puzzle that only requires one or two clicks in blatantly obvious places.  I give in and so does the AI.  It's sort of like a stalemate.

Maybe it's not speed or accuracy but something random.

Update:  I wrote the above but decided not to post it.  A while later, I got a super simple puzzle--a fire hydrant that occupied 4 and only 4 squares with no part of the hydrant in any adjacent cells and nothing out of focus that might remotely have been a hydrant.  I did my random clicking and unclicking but then left just the 4 cells clicked before choosing Verify.  The AI must have been annoyed at me (maybe it had read my unposted reply?) because it gave me a different puzzle to try just to annoy me.  Disgusted, I clicked Skip which I assumed meant it would give me another puzzle.  But instead the AI tossed in the towel and let me through!!!!!

I read a story about how one of the AI's actually used TaskRabbit to fill out a captcha for it.  It lied to the person assigned to the task and said they were a blind elderly female.

 

Oh, and I've got the film cued to watch in another tab!  Should have time soon.

The topic of humans establishing deep bonds and establishing various forms of intimate relationships with A I style  human skinned hybrid robots will be a hot topic for decades to come .

I wound up watching a new to me TV series  called The Accused . The series finally closed last week with a story of a music producer that was too busy to meet her musician husbands needs so she brought him home a  life like A I emulation of a female prototype $ex companion ..

Here's the link to the episode   . Accused S2 E 8 Megan's Story
