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?

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

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