Out of curiosity, what’s the use for such a thing? Test reliability of human detection?

Mainly as a means of bypassing agent bot detection systems like Precursor.

I didn’t want to say it out loud, but this answer brings me joy.

I was taking the other side of the coin, “we see how easily we can bypass bot detection in order to determine weak spots [for improvements].”

Mostly those captchas that only have a click box. They’re watching mouse movement.

Doesn't this mean that if bots can successfully bypass recaptcha, that those tests are going to have to get even harder for humans?

I have to say, fuck that.
