Tried to make on new account on lemmy... It did work in the end (obviously). Good thing there is the audio version to read it for me. (sarcasm, I know it's supposed to be for accessibility purposes. Still used it though)

I think the CAPTCHAs have to keep getting harder and harder because the bots keep getting better and better.
>make captcha to train bots with human feedback
>bots become not only better, but more humanlike at solving captcha
No one could have possibly predicted this at all.
It is already a lost race though.

google's captcha basically doesn't even use the actual puzzle anymore. That's only used to train their AI. Its based mostly on how you interact with site.
welp
hmm yeah but at what point do we stop? If I already can't solve it without using the audio description or refreshing multiple times, I think we need to think about another solution. Or just make it less hard, if "stopping the bots" is not the only reason.
They've already determined that bots are better at solving Captchas than we are.
More security theater is the obvious solution!
