You will be burning through thousands of dollars worth of compute to do that.

The biggest issue is at least 80% of internet users won’t be capable of passing the test.

  • Agree. The bots are already significantly better at passing almost every supposed "Are You Human?" test than the actual humans. "Can you find the cars in this image?" Bots are already better. "Can you find the incredibly convoluted text in this color spew?" Bots are already better. Almost every test these days is the same "These don't make me feel especially 'human'. Not even sure what that's an image of. Are there even letters in that image?"

    Part of the issue, the humans all behaved the same way previously. Just slower.

    All the scraping, and web downloading. Humans have been doing that for a long time. Just slower.

    It's the same issue with a lot of society. Mean, hurtful humans, made mean hurtful bots.

    Always the same excuses too. Company / researchers make horrible excrement, knowing full well its going harm everybody on the world wide web. Then claim they had no idea. "Thoughts and prayers."

    The torture that used to exist on the world wide web of copy-pasta pages and constant content theft, is now just faster copy-pasta pages and content theft.
