I doubt it. For the last several years it’s been obvious that we are training their AI technology to “see” or look for certain objects in images and try to match our response time.

Supposedly even a small child (3 or under) can distinguish immediately between a cat or dog.

>>“We want to get rid of CAPTCHAs completely. The idea is rather simple: a real human should be able to touch or look at their device to prove they are human

My middle finger on the screen should give them all the proof they need.

Lol... Me too. and the 2F authentication that recognizes your device or not. Then you have to go though the text or email authentication.

I DO NOT WANT THEM TO SEE MY DEVICE AS UNIQUE. OR HAVE MY EMAIL OR PHONE NUMBER. That means they have already snooped TOO MUCH for my tastes and they can take a hike.

#5: "I kinda like clicking on all the pictures containing a traffic light.".

Yes, traffic lights are great! But my dog prefers the fire hydrants.

That’s hate speech. You can’t hate computers!

And it’s discriminatory for captchas to not allow robots to pass through

Dear Captcha idiots: Do NOT use a circle or an up and down line unless they can represent both a zero or an O, or both a 1 or a small l. No one can tell the difference so you can’t say they are “wrong,” you morons!

CAPTCHA: prove you’re not a robot by teaching robots how to prove they’re not robots.

So, replace free CAPTCHAs with dongles you have to pay for.🙄

The USB dongle might disappear before the CAPTCHAs. More and more companies are disabling USB devices since they’re a portal to introduce malware.

"...is proposing a new service that uses hardware keys to confirm your existence."

I'll be avoiding more sites then.
