That’s actually a good idea. A very simple “click the frog” captcha might be solvable by an AI but it would work as a way to make it more expensive for crawlers without wasting compute resources (energy!) on the user or slowing down old devices to a crawl. So in some ways it could be a better alternative to Anubis.
It’s funby that older captchas could be viewed as proof of work algorithms now because image recognition is so good. (From using captchas.)
Interesting stance. I have bought many tens of thousand of captcha soves for legitimate reasons, and I have now completely lost faith in them
