Ask HN: What CAPTCHAs can beat GPT-4?

3 pointsacupofteaplease5 comments

Systems based on GPT-4 can now pass most captchas and navigate the web using browser automation tools like Selenium. [1][2]

This enables exponential multiplication of "smart" bots, and most captchas we know of today are becoming useless.

Attempts to make better captchas seem limited. [5]

And most alternatives to captchas are quite problematic:

- more paywalls and subscriptions to make it more costly to run a lot of bots (see what musk's twitter is doing now) [3]

- biometric authentication to prove you are human (see sam altman's worldcoin) [4]

Are there any other alternatives out there? Can you think of better CAPTCHAs?
