Cadie Desbiens-Desmeules (Bot identification), 2021. Technique: Javascript. “I’m not a human” is part of “I’m not a robot”, a series of applications exploring the murky world of digital labour and human intelligence tasks. A captcha seems like a harmless annoyance to a user, but it’s a powerful and lucrative method of extracting free labour as we’ve collectively been training AI for free by solving Google’s reCAPTCHA puzzles for decades. The service offers website owners a trade: make its users decipher hard to read text or match images to train algorithms and allow Google to track its users, while the multinational promises to stop bots and spam in return. To date, it’s estimated that Google has extracted $7.3 billion worth of free labour using this method. https://desbiens-desmeules.com/im-not-a-robot/
