Do captchas have a future? It seems inevitable that AI will beat humans on captcha real soon (if not already). What's next?

- jksk61 3y agoI don't know about you but I use chat gpt to solve captcha because I can't.
- jazzyjackson 3y agoI should patent this idea but here it goes anyway: in the future Captcha's will consist of requesting you make an antisemitic or misogynist remark to prove you are human, since the bots will be held to higher moral standards than man.
- cooper_ganglia 3y agoThis is a completely silly comment, but I will admit that it made me chuckle just because of how incredibly random and shocking it was, especially here on HN, lol

- PeterisP 3y agoObviously, not all bots will be held to such standards - these are the standards which apply to western corporations who offer free bots for PR and marketing purposes, since 'politically incorrect' behavior stunts that goal, however, anyone keeping their own bot (e.g. a spammer wanting to solve millions of captchas) has no problems running an 'uncensored' bot - right now you can get reasonably large open source models without the RLHF pretraining and thus also no attempt at 'moral standards' other than those you choose to put in when finetuning the bot for your purposes. It's relatively trivial to flip the sign on that training data and have a bot that will instead refuse to make antifascist or feminist arguments; if someone wants a Hitlerbot to ghostwrite "My struggle" for them, there's nothing that could prevent them from finetuning such a model from one of the publicly available models; there is no one that can enforce any 'moral standards' on the bots other than their creators.
