    That just shows how braindead the idea of “protecting” a website with captchas and the like is. For one thing, given that they are used to train “AIs”, it’s a self-defeating concept.

      Captchas are a useful measure to do rate limiting to prevent DoS, spam, crawling and brute-force attacks. Using services like recaptcha is a stupid idea because you enable tracking of your users. Also defeating a captcha many sites use is way more lucrative than a per-site specific one which can be changed immediately when too many bad requests are detected.
