Ok, it’s official now; captcha are useless. Can we please stop using them now?
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?
Well, no, because it was designed just to piss all of us off in the past two decades.
How lazy cryptographers do ai
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.
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.)
I give up on any captcha with mor than 1 image. The problem is you aren’t letting people in, even if you are catching bots. You’ll have to turn it off to let people in.
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).
