Ever since their introduction, CAPTCHAs have escalated from mildly annoying speed bumps to full-blown puzzles that even humans struggle to solve. And what do modern humans do when they struggle to solve something? Ask ChatGPT, of course! 1 Old-School CAPTCHA I started by giving ChatGPT some prior context. AI guidelines are vague, and I didn’t want it to stop answering because it thought I was using it to crawl websites. I set up the conversation with this prompt: I’ll give you a bunch of visual riddles and you solve them. Does that sound good? Then, I started with a very…
