Well we trained them
That’s suspicious - I can’t pass 100%. here’s a new captcha for you: make the user do 100 in a row
- 100% is ai
- <50% is dumb “ai”
- in between is a person
Pro-tip for webscrapers: using AI to solve captchas is a massive waste of effort and resources. Aim to not be presented with a captcha in the first place.
So...if CAPTCHA are already beaten by bots what's the point if it still exists ? to mock our weakness ?
In the old days CAPTCHA could do its job, but nowadays nah....even crawler/scrapper/meta bots can bypass it easily.
The real question is why do we as real humans still often fail to beat CHAPTCHA? Are we less human? Are we really robots in CHAPTCHA perspective ?
To train Google/Cloudflare's AI tools, and to double check against DDOS. That's it.
So now we're going to have AI training other AIs
we have trained them very well
There is a Russian captcha solver bot called xevil that costs under $100 (I think, last time I looked) that has been able to solve nearly all captchas for years. You just have to supply it with relatively expensive proxy IP addresses because Google rate limits solve attempts.
So the title of this article has been true for a long long time. Capatchas are absolutely useless except against poor or uninformed script kiddies.
Unless this was something people could use i dont rly see it becoming much of a problem. Most people dont even use adblockers
