For those that aren’t yet aware: the trade off with the technology behind eliminating bot-detection here comes with a huge compromise. That trade off is that Big Tech companies need to basically certify that your device is capable and valid in order to access a website. “They” can decide at any moment to deny you access to sites that you request, which is a massive detriment to the free and open web. It’s one step below a censored internet and it’s already started rolling out in Safari.

So... they're saying it should be up to the browser to prove that the user is a human?

That seems like a terrible idea to me..what's to stop an automated browser from just saying yes, I'm totally a human ?

Fock off with that DRM shit

Ah yes googles new api with drm will make a fine solution to captcha.

Captchas also compromise your privacy. When you run across a Captcha, the technology might keep a permanent record of your phone or computer identity that can track everywhere you go online.

Humans also fiddle with a computer mouse or move around a touch screen phone in a “very human way,” Graham-Cumming said, so the ticketing computer might scope out how the cursor is moving.

Not sure why privacy is brought up if it seems to be equally as bad?

I sure am. I wish I could just be a robot already so I fit in.

The new captcha in an AI world will be like "Caption this politically charged cartoon in 5 words or less"

"IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE" -- You're a bot

"NO I AM DEFINITELY NOT " -- BOT

"AS AN AI LANGUAGE MODEL " -- SILENCE, BOT
