Are AI crawlers equipped to get past reCAPTCHA or hCAPTCHA? This seems like exactly the thing these services were meant to stop.

So the problem is a bunch of AI companies mining our web content for training data without asking and without regard for hosters' effort/bandwidth and the users' service quality.

And the proposed remedy is to give them human-labeled data directly in the form of captchas, even more severely degrading the user experience and thus website viability?

Color me unconvinced.
