    Here’s a crazy idea: make the CAPTCHAs so complicated humans can’t complete them.

    That way if someone does, you know they’re a bot.

    I should probably patent that or something. (Is joke, etc.)

      This very circumstance is described in the book „Qualityland“ and probably many more literature.

      Choose at random a captcha that a human could complete or one a human couldn’t complete (while the bot supposedly could complete all of them).

      I give up on any captcha with mor than 1 image. The problem is you aren’t letting people in, even if you are catching bots. You’ll have to turn it off to let people in.

        They usually only do it when you’re on a vpn. So you just have to give up your privacy and disable the vpn to be seen as human.
