Just guessing here but they'll have to fall back to other means, which defeats the purpose of screening for bots. But this being google and their main source of revenue being advertising, i'm guessing they're gonna use this technology to develop proof you're watching the ads you're shown
That's a good guess, horrible though that is.

Oh I think it is here, people just don't like to call it.
And my silly young ass back in the 90s thought "Dude, the future will be so AWESOME!".... If I could punch my young self, I would.
We all should have hacked the future harder I guess.
