Text that is _intentionally constructed_ to fool computers but not humans is obviously out of scope. But they’re generally easily solved with OCR these days anyway.

    The original assertion was:

      I would challenge you to find a picture of text
      that you think a human can read and OCR cannot.
    
    Not if many CAPTCHA image challenges could be automated. Unless the tool referenced guarantees 100% correct solutions for all manipulated text images.

      The AI models are now better at CAPTCHAs than I am, for both text- and image-based questions. But when confronted with a CAPTCHA, humans work for free, and the models don't. :(

      As long as that's the case, CAPTCHAs probably won't be considered truly obsolete.
