| | Also, in my experience, CAPTCHAs that ask for "Click all squares with <whatever>" on a non-refreshing grid of otherwise independent images - which I often-enough encounter in this very site - tend to assume exactly three squares are correct. (e.g. it asks for "all tractors", and there are two tractors and some non-tractor vehicle like a road-roller, then it doesn't matter if *I* think that's not actually a tractor, it won't let me past until I've clicked the road-roller). The rules are different for refreshing images (click an image's square, it presents a new image, until eventually every square that had previously been one-or-more picture(s) of the target-type are now all irrelevent to click) or a gridded single-scene (I haven't worked that one out fully... if it's asking for Traffic Lights, do I just need to do the squares ''entirely'' containing such light units/only those with the 'light' part of the units/every single square with even the barest edge of the frame around the lights/all squares even with just the poles/wires suspending the lights up off the ground... sometimes it seems to like what I do, sometimes it retests me, and I don't know if it's unhappy with my choice or so absolutely happy with my choice that it desperately wants me to help the Algorithm just that little bit more). '''*cough*''' Anyway. What I'm saying is, if I was seriously trying to answer this comic's example, I'd be looking for exactly three Frankenstein squares of one (dubious) kind or another.

| − | May be worth noting that the traffic light's three coloured circles are all shaded black. In some countries (I know I've seen someone I trust saying it's true in the USA and UK), the law specifies that you must treat a broken traffic light (or one which you reasonably believe to be broken; such as if it's not lit up) as a stop sign. Does this mean you'd click it in a CAPTCHA that asks for stop signs? [[User:Angel|Angel]] ([[User talk:Angel|talk]]) 09:04, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

| − | :The way I understood it is that a ship carries boats – think of a cruise liner or cargo ship with lifeboats, or a naval vessel with longboats or the captain's gig – but a boat, like a rowboat, speedboat, or personal watercraft, does not.

| − | I see an octagon containing STOP, but no square containing FRANKENSTEIN. I think that makes this particular captcha unsolvable.

| − | I have to suggest an alternate interpretation: CAPTCHAs are used as a way to provide sample data for machine learning AI. A situation like in the comic implies that there is a reason that an AI would need to be trained to recognise Frankenstein (presumably the monster), perhaps because he's real and on the loose, hence the dread.

| − | :I am amused by this possibility. It also plays on the term CAPTCHA by suggesting that the monster is on the loose and needs to be CAPTURED.[[Special:Contributions/172.70.178.33|172.70.178.33]] 23:29, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

| |
| − | I just asked OpenAI's latest GPT-3 model at https://beta.openai.com/playground with default settings thusly:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :;What does Frankenstein look like?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :Frankenstein is a large, muscular creature with green skin and long, black hair. He has large, white eyes and a flat, square head. His mouth is large and filled with sharp teeth. He has long, powerful arms and legs.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :;What does Victor Frankenstein look like?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :Victor Frankenstein is a tall, thin man with dark hair and eyes. He is very intelligent and has a strong interest in science.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | So the point of this is that if you spend millions of dollars to train an English language interaction model based on the authoritative texts available to contemporary venture capitalists, "Frankenstein" is considered to be the monster, not its creator.

I didn't write that bit, but I ''did'' write the "Also, in my experience, CAPTCHAs that ask for..." further up this Talk page, and as such I found it a reasonable interpretation of my experience. Not going to reinstate it, but just want to register my resemblence to the remark. Carry on, though... As you were... [[Special:Contributions/172.70.85.211|172.70.85.211]] 06:03, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

| − | I'm beginning to think all of the cells could be considered to be Frankensteins (and/or creations of Frankenstein): e.g. the Turtle/Tortoise was (one) of the first creatures brought back to life by Victor; The boat/ship in 'Frankenstein' is never named, it could be called Frankenstein's ship/boat, or HE could be on it; The monster could be considered as Frankenstein (to some); OK so I'm struggling to find a Frankenstein in the picure of Link, though there is a link between Frankenstein's Monster and Link (Zelda/Link confusion); Viktor makes a puddle of blood (by killing the bride), whom he also dumps in the lake; M3GAN can be seen as a morden day retelling of Frankenstein, there also appears to be a Megan Frankenstein at Boulder University; Magma/Lava - Magma comix publishes(d) a comic called The Modern Frankenstein, William Lava wrote the score to Dracula vs Frankenstein (a real frankenstein of a film, imho); Pumpkin's are often carved (sculpted) into Frankenstein's Monster - thus (following the concept that you carve away everything that isn't what you want when sculpting) every Pumkin contains a Frankenstein's monster (also there is such thing as a Frankenstein Pumpkin - moulded into shape while growing...); Viktor (or Henry) Frankenstein; there is a book called Frankenstein makes a sandwich, maybe Viktor (Henry) made a sandwich for lunch? (I'm sure he would have at some point), McDonald's have a Frankenstein (land, sea and air sandwich, which may have come our AFTER the comic); Stop sign.. the idea that the whole book is an ethical stop sign; Monster - needs nothing further; Planet - (this is where I started actually) Frankenstein Planets - forming from the remains of other 'dead' planets - indeed every planet can be said to be a Frankenstein planet, formed from the components of dead stars (as can everything else?); Cueball and Ponytail.. reference to XKCD 1589?; Traffic light - Frankenstein (the book) is a warning, so is a traffic light (but how does it *contain* Frankenstein?); and the last panel obviously doesn't have Frankenstein in it...
