Well, one can write a bot that defeats recaptcha. Trivial, once you know what to do.

  If "one" can write a bot that defeats recaptcha, what is the point of recaptcha? I think extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

    It would still limit "most" =p

    I presume by "defeat" they mean "use one of the libraries that allows you to pay $0.10 for each query, to route your CAPTCHA to people in developing countries who will solve them for you." Which is economically viable for individual use-cases, but still economically unviable for spambots.

      Another technique is to enable the accessibility mode, which is a speech-to-text prompt and is supposedly easier to bypass.

      It is much cheaper than 0,10 USD per captcha.
