"AI" is certainly creating problems that can be monetized. So humans get the Cloudflare captchas in order to access their own content at Stackoverflow and Mathoverflow, and "AI" crawlers get the data highway for a fee.
And all of this does not stop the incumbents who have already stolen everything.

- _rdvw 1y agoHaving to click "Verify you are a human" every single time is still awful.
- jlokier 1y agoEspecially when it asks you to do it again, and again, until you realise you're never going to be allowed to see the page. I've had that happen a few times with sites behind Cloudflare.
- mejutoco 1y agoTo save a visit: they use turnstile, a captcha replacement. The checkbox with verify you are a human. I would call that a captcha, but it is debatable if a non-puzzle check is.

- bgwalter 1y agoTurnstile still a click, and that click is already exploited for phishing (note that Turnstile is also called CAPTCHA on the following site, though you are technically correct): https://www.techradar.com/pro/security/fake-cloudflare-captcha-page-laden-with-malware-uncovered-in-the-wild-heres-how-to-stay-secure-and-safe https://www.techradar.com/pro/security/fake-cloudflare-captc...
