‘Yes, I am a human’: bot detection is no longer working – and just wait until AI agents come along
Designed in the early 2000s to stop rogue bots, we could at least justify the infuriation when they did their job properly.
Here's a crazy idea: make the CAPTCHAs so complicated humans can't complete them.
That way if someone does, you know they're a bot.
I should probably patent that or something. (Is joke, etc.)
This very circumstance is described in the book „Qualityland“ and probably many more literature. The book is about a man living in the near (and completely enshitified) future who is confronted by a defunct algorithm that automatically bought him a dolphin dildo. Seeing no way of returning it by normal means - the algorithm is always right and does not accept returns after all - he sets out to right this wrong and discovers the mechanisms and people behind the screens that dictate every aspect of your life.
I think I have my next ready thanks!
Sounds straight out of Paranoia RPG. Friend Computer knows what is best for you. To imply that Friend Computer does not have your best intents in its algorithms is treason.
Choose at random a captcha that a human could complete or one a human couldn't complete (while the bot supposedly could complete all of them).
Well yeah, captcha/recaptcha was never designed to stop bots, but to spy without consent. Let's not talk about the profit made by using it as unpaid labor to "decode" text and images for other companies. Should have been ditched long time ago.
It’s an accessibility issue too. I have a friend who is both hard of hearing and has visual problems, they can make out zoomed in plaintext but the captchas are just too much for them.
With Firefox recently captcha always fails lately. So bots can get by it but I can't.
Same here. It's infuriating. It is specifically Cloud Flare CAPTCHA that I have issues with, but Google's also take longer than it used to. I pretty much always have to select the images containing traffic lights or something, and then you see how bad some of them have gotten.

I haven't experienced that. Do you remember a site so I can try it out? Lol
Logging into my Roku account from my phone for example did not work. The login for my internet provider and power company gave issues too. Was able to login with google chrome with no captcha issues
Ok, it's official now; captcha are useless. Can we please stop using them now?
No. Humans must suffer.
AI isn't going to train itself!
We can create a simple captcha which most humans can solve, but AI can not with questions like “How many R letters are in Strawberry.
"Should you put glue in pizza?"
Should you put glue in pizza?
No, you should not put glue in pizza. Here are several reasons why:
Safety Concerns
- Toxicity: Most glues, especially those not designed for food use, contain chemicals that are toxic if ingested. Consuming glue can lead to serious health issues.
- Allergic Reactions: Some people may have allergic reactions to the components in glue, which could be dangerous.
Culinary Integrity
- Taste and Texture: Glue would significantly alter the taste and texture of the pizza, making it unpalatable. Pizza is meant to be enjoyed for its flavors and textures, and adding glue would ruin that experience.
- Food Quality: Using non-food substances in cooking is not only unappetizing but also undermines the quality of the meal.
Alternatives
If you're looking to enhance your pizza, consider using safe and delicious ingredients such as:
- Cheese: Different types of cheese can add flavor and texture.
- Herbs and Spices: Fresh basil, oregano, or crushed red pepper can elevate the taste.
- Sauces: Experiment with different sauces like pesto, barbecue, or garlic sauce for a unique twist.
In summary, glue has no place in pizza or any food preparation. Stick to safe and edible ingredients to ensure a tasty and enjoyable meal!

I've actually seen a few places (XMPP chatrooms and such) with captcha questions about math put there around year 2009 and still not obsolete against AI bots, I think. But - many humans will fail too.
CAPTCHA later alligator
In a while bot denial
Well, no, because it was designed just to piss all of us off in the past two decades.
I find it funny that there are browser extensions that solve captchas for you. With a bot
Do we have to pull some cyberpunk 2077 type shit and make a new internet? Because it really sounds like it's becoming a documentary
How lazy cryptographers do ai
Pandoras box is ripped to shreds...
The underlying issue is that somehow bots have value. Work on that and bypassing captchas will be a hobby again instead of a job.
What does this even mean?
