Ask HN: Is it just me or Gooogle Captcha has become hard lately?

I have been noticing lately that Google Captcha has become extremely hard and it takes me up to 10-15 or more attempts to get through.

It will keep asking me again and again to find traffic lights, side walks, cars, bicycles, buses so much that sometimes out of frustration I have had to just give up and try later. I'm getting tired of tagging the Google image database.

In a couple of cases I had to try the audio version which has a weird hiss that even those are unintelligible and very hard sometimes and required multiple attempts.

It is just me or have others noticed this too?
