Previous CAPTCHAs were based on tasks humans could do but machines could not. The machines caught up and passed humans on those tasks. These new tasks are based on the concept that humans are dumber than AI agents, making more mistakes and showing more randomness.

It might work for a while, but that's a losing battle.

Hi this is incorrect. Different =/= dumber. The insight is that humans and computers have different constraints / algorithmic capabilities / objective functions / etc.

For a few more years, humans who haven't been laid off yet can believe that.
