What if we replaced Captchas with tiny flash games requiring a specific score?

Just a 15 second game like Snake or Helicopter. Should stop a significant level of bots, no?

  • I wonder if you can detect if the player is a bot or not, regardless, most captchas are also ml training if I remember correctly

    • There are two issue posts on the Lemmy github about the captcha options they considered. It is an interesting read. I had no idea there were so many types or even the existence of embedded options. I thought all were 3rd party and most were google, but I was wrong. Still, there are recent Lemmy posts by the devs basically saying the only option to effectively control the bots is by requiring a valid email for account creation.

      • With AI capabilities now, surely it’s pretty easy for an AI to follow a set of instructions like: create an email, check email, click link in email…etc - is that correct? Or put another way - why would email verification stump ML so consistently if it’s trained to create emails and do the process
