No you have to click the right images or follow the directions to get past the captcha. A bot technically could be programmed to beat any single captcha, but the point is just to give random instructions that humans can actually follow, and preprogrammed bots can't. It's the crazy font/number captchas that really grind my gears.

Used to be I could keep trying to refresh the captcha and it would eventually just give me a simple numbers/letters image to type. Lately I try doing that and it basically blocks access after a while thinking I'm just spamming them or whatever. I hate those click the image ones. But I guess maybe they are slightly better than the ones that were also ads.

That check here if you're not a bot captcha is bullshit...I could program a click bot to get past that just by preprogramming the bot WITH MY OWN MOUSE CLICKS

As for the image captcha as a human you still have to follow the instructions.. If you just click all the first row of images for example you aren't going to get access to a site, (you shouldn't anyway, I've been denied for that) but whatever I hate that captcha as well, and I've always thought it was bullshit. That's why I mentioned the captcha I hate the most. The original "captcha" because it is designed to be indecipherible to bots...It's usually just as indecipherable for me as well though.

Those mouse trackers arent even really "captchas", but technically they are now maybe? That second article says different devs repatented the "captcha" system so I guess they get to call it one? I might read those buzzfeedesque articles a bit more when it's not 3am.

I mean there's actually way more demanding captchas that have been dreamt up over the years that require you to complete a short section of musical notes in the right key or look at resistors and enter the resistance so whatevs. They help. It's just impossible to weed out every kind of crawler.. bot or AI these days so they're all becoming increasingly ineffective.
