“Prove that you’re human by solving these machine-generated puzzles that machines can solve to give us more data to train our machines, while we run a simple script in the background to verify that you’re human based on your browser’s metadata.”
I had a captcha a few days ago that was something like “click on all the pictures that go with this” with a picture of a saucepan and the grid was food items and other things.
I pointed my phone at it and asked Gemini and almost instantly it said “the potato in the top left and the carrots look the middle of the bottom row”.
While I despise the captchas from a human perspective, the fact that an LLM can solve the challenge isn’t a deal breaker. It doesn’t need to be impossible for a non-human to solve, it just has to be too expensive.
It does certainly shift the equation to stuff like proof of work since a computer can solve it anyway, might as well not annoy the human.
Oh is the person riding the bicycle part of the bicycle this time? What do you want, the corner of the pedal that is just barely in the box, or the out of focus blur in the background that might be a bicycle or it might be a bear. It’s hard to tell.
You mean 30 clicks before it tells you to “please try again” for no reason.

To keep training the captcha solving AI of course
