Captchas are futile. I remember many years ago when I was in highschool, I came across a shady job posting on an eBay listing. The work involved solving captchas. There was a web page they set up that just displayed one captcha after another, and it was your job to sit there solving them. I didn’t do it because I can’t imagine a worse hell than having to solve so many captchas, but it opened my eyes to how creative botters can be. I can imagine someone doing a similar setup for mturk, where all you need to do is remotely solve a captcha on your phone every few hours/minutes while ChatGPT does its thing. I also wouldn’t be surprised if that already exists.
