Are you aware of CAPTCHA[0] images?
Text that is _intentionally constructed_ to fool computers but not humans is obviously out of scope. But they’re generally easily solved with OCR these days anyway.
Solvable with the right tools.

The original assertion was:
Not if many CAPTCHA image challenges could be automated. Unless the tool referenced guarantees 100% correct solutions for all manipulated text images.
The AI models are now better at CAPTCHAs than I am, for both text- and image-based questions. But when confronted with a CAPTCHA, humans work for free, and the models don't. :(
As long as that's the case, CAPTCHAs probably won't be considered truly obsolete.
