Tell HN: CAPTCHAs in ChatGPT

Challenging and time-consuming CAPTCHAs in ChatGPT, in a paid account.

uBlock Origin is currently showing 28 (!) blocked ads or trackers, or perhaps to punish users because they disabled chat history.



I think the issue is the captcha provider. It shows up far too often and is very confusing and unreliable. Why they aren’t using some shady proprietary captcha when hcaptcha is free is beyond me.


I agree. and are my chats visible to those third parties? (I had to disable some other tracker blockers like Privacy Badger just to even SEE that CAPTCHA.)


at this point, seriously considering switching to Bard which is now nearly as good (somewhere between GPT-3.5 and 4) just because these CAPTCHAs are so bad.


> switching to Bard

What's the privacy implications of Bard? We're talking Google here so they'll probably data mine everything from Bard no? (I know ChatGPT has some privacy issues too).


Yes, Google probably does, which really demonstrates how bad these CAPTCHAs really are for anyone who's privacy-sensitive enough to disable chat history.
