Captchas te not meant to deter all bots. It’s meant to make it ever so slightly expensive that a mass DDOS attack would be extremely expensive to perform. Think like thousand sof requests per second, all being Captcha’d and how much it costs to run AI. It’s current not a feasible solution.
There is cheaper AI that can solve Captchas though, and it’s only gonna get cheaper.
Also, captchas are meant to gather data to train on. That’s why we used to have pictures of writing, but that’s basically solved now. It’s why we now have a lot of self driving vehicle focused ones now, like identifying busses, bikes, traffic lights/signs, and that sort of thing.
Captchas get humans to label data so the ML algorithms can train on it, eventually being able to identify the tests themselves.
