A true but acceptable "AI"-proof captcha is impossible, because the smartest AIs are better than the least tech-savvy individuals. Captchas of all kinds were being solved by bots even before LLMs.
Fortunately, LLM queries are relatively expensive and time-consuming. If 1 query costs $0.01 and takes 1 millisecond, that may not seem like a lot. But if you're trying to DOS a server you'll probably need >1000 queries a second, and even if that's enough, such a DOS will cost you $36,000/hr. In this case, whether the captcha is solvable by the LLM doesn't matter.
