Death to captchas

The arms race between humans and machines has been progressing for a while. As early as 2016, researchers at Columbia University showed they could solve Google's image captchas with 70% accuracy using off-the-shelf automated image recognition tools, the sort that could readily be used by bot designers. Captchas have gotten more complex out of necessity. Because as AI gets more sophisticated, they've become less effective. By now, some captchas have gotten a little surreal.
