I actually doubt that somewhat. The language models do still go off of words to a large degree.

They may be worse than a very good programmer. But will be much faster answer. The real captcha is not to check if the answer is correct. It is to check the time it takes to answer.

Except humans that are not very good programmers will just give up and answer quite fast. Or just click away lol.

Sure, let me help you with that!

Thinking for a better answer... (4 minutes later)

Square 1 has a bug, the variable "docu" is not defined Square 5 has a bug, the function _ is not present. Square 17 has a bug, the function "Skip" is also not defined.

Let me know if that was helpful to you!
