It's easy to make hardware or software virtual mics and cameras that can't be detected as such. Getting that pronunciation task right will be easier for a bot using TTS through a virtual mic than for many non-native English speak

It's easy for a bot to provide a pre-recorded or generated video of someone waving, and pronouncing a sentence is much harder for many humans than for bots. I don't think having to prove you're human will ever be a happy exp

No common factors at all between any of the values, or no factor common to all the values? The second is pretty straightforward, e.g. (x+1)*(x+3) produces 3, 8, 15, 24, 35, 48, 63, 80, 99, 120, 143, 168, 195, 224, 255, 288, 323, 360, 399, e

The staircase in particular looks amazing. I think in your description you should expand/ link some of the jargon, e.g. BVH is Bounding Volume Hierarchy ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounding_volume_hierarchy ),
