Just got a Captcha on Amazon that seems to be an original Amazon Captcha. It showed me a 3x3 grid of pictures and asked me "select all binoculars" then asked me to "select all hats".
I'm not sure about this, but the images likely were just photos from Amazon products. And this seems like a kind of great idea if so. Amazon has all the data they need about these products so they can know what's what. And they could just, use the metric ton of photos uploaded to their site as captcha images.
Idk I kinda thought that was cool in a way and an effecient use of what was already there.
