there's already captcha systems like this and are already easy to beat. You wouldnt buy much time, if any, with this. the reason is that all it takes to defeat is a human style temporal averaging vision system, take any 4 connected frames and take the average, text stands out and even quite bassic llm's can read. works not just for this but for a slew of other "ai" combating methods, so likely scrapers and the like wouldnt be slowed by this at all. Decreasing SNR to force longer frame windows to get avceptable snr for reading makes it harder for humans than it does bots where dynamic temporal averaging via tool call is trivial. run tool, it temporally averages until snr in the region of interest improves, measured by a plateu in change of importance of high frequency terms in fourier space, since if the moving background has been blurred to a smooth gray, the noise text stands out clearly in contrast. Not something an LLM could solve when asked, but now that I've made this comment publically for nothing other than a few internet points and ego stroking, it's a matter of time before some of the larger llms start suggesting this solution. He'll claude probably already will, since I got it to write code for this series of tests/experiments during early opus 4.x era. and I know other ideas LLM's were shit at that I discussed heavily with claude ended up being the go-to recommendation a generation later, despite no "public" discourse on the matter.
