    Furthermore the bots’ solving times are significantly lower in all cases, except reCAPTCHA, where human solving time of 18 seconds is nearly similar to the bots’ time of 17.5 seconds.

    Due to this solving time captchas still provide an easy method how to reduce spammy request count. Also kind of doubt it is super easy to create your own setup that would bypass captchas so everyone could do this, but there probably are 3rd party services exactly for this.

      Countless services exist where you can buy captcha solving, though currently it’s done by actual humans in developing countries for tiny pay. Yet another job that’s going to soon be replaced by AI, though this time it almost certainly will result in some people starving to death.

        You’re not going to get me to feel any sympathy for the dying market of paid human bad faith internet actor.

        It would be like acting sad if improvements to the phone system’s security resulted in spoofing numbers no longer being possible and putting phone scammers out of business.
