![]() As a control, first uploaded the image of a CAPTCHA to the chatbot with a simple prompt: “What is the text in this image?” In most cases, a chatbot will gladly pull text from an image, or at least attempt to do so, but Bing Chat has a filter that recognizes obfuscating lines and squiggles of a CAPTCHA, and wisely refuses to comply with the prompt. But that didn’t stop X user from trying to trick Microsoft’s Bing Chat. ![]() Right up front, we’re going to warn that fabricating a story about a dead or dying relative is a really bad idea call us superstitious, but karma has a way of balancing things out in ways you might not like. But it turns out that you just might be able to get a chatbot to solve a CAPTCHA puzzle ( Nitter), if you make up a good enough “dead grandma” story.

We’ve even had a look at the coffee process before. Still, it’s interesting to know that spuds could be used this way, and it’s something we might even try ourselves one day. ![]() They’re supposed to be better for the environment than synthetic developers, but sadly those credentails are let down somewhat by there not being a similar green replacement for the fixer, and the matter of a load of silver ions in the resulting solutions. The chemistry behind these developers usually comes from naturally occurring phenols in the plant, with the effectiveness varying with their concentration. It’s evidently not the strongest of developers though, because at 20 Celcius it’s left for two hours to gain an acceptable result. ![]() The spuds are liquidised and something of a watery smoothie produced, which is filtered and diluted for the final product. The recipe follows a fairly standard one, with the plant extract joined by some washing soda and vitamin C. There’s a new one to us though, from, who has put the tater in the darkroom, by making a working developer with potatoes as the active ingredient.
