No.
Asks you to make gang signs and automatically adds you to the ICE database.
This is the automation we have all been waiting for
Future headline: Gemini sign language interpreter frequently flips the bird to absolutely everyone.
We're not sure how this got into the training data...
I’m just gonna moon the camera.
I don't care what site it is but if i get that popup i won't be visiting that site anymore.
I'll close that website page so fast they'll give me a speeding ticket. And then a permanent piece of tape goes over my webcam.
= they are looking to improve AI hands
Drink verification can.
... I have no camera.
This new CAPTCHA's prejudicial and exclusionary.
Not to mention grotesquely invasive.

Turns out, I am no longer human
welp, guess I won't be looking at those things, then. DuckDuckGo it is.
DuckDuckGo won't save you - all those "pick the crosswalk" captchas? Google owns that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReCAPTCHA

This is the biggest "hell no" thing I'll probably see this week.
OK, so how does this work for things without cameras? They exist, I am using one right now. Does it just fail, does it default to another method?
You just lose access to the internet eventually.
Just guessing here but they'll have to fall back to other means, which defeats the purpose of screening for bots. But this being google and their main source of revenue being advertising, i'm guessing they're gonna use this technology to develop proof you're watching the ads you're shown
That's a good guess, horrible though that is.
When this can be faked in the near future, they'll be asking for ass thermometers and anus gestures.

The tech giant says the system only analyzes hand-movement points from a short video, does not record audio, and deletes the footage after verification.
It's just a short video guys, there's even no audio! And they pinky promise to delete it.
What a fucking shitshow that is. Like, honestly, I'm fine with regular captchas, even if they are the shitty ones. The newer (?) captchas that force you to do solve 5 bullshit "place this there" captchas are already reason enough for me to just leave the site. But if you force me to record a video of me throwing gang signs at the camera, probably several times again, because the movement was not correctly identified, I'm sure as fuck to never visit anything related to you ever again.
I also love the irony that Google fights ~~people~~ bots, while they are scraping the whole internet and investing into AI automation massively.
