So, then, "replace it with what, exactly?" What if we all wake up one morning to find that our computers have gained an IQ of 6000? Will the computers be making jokes about "as dumb as a human" and debating ways to identify if they're talking with another computer or just a human? :-)
I don't like Facebook, or the lost of all our privacy. But if Facebook work hard to ban all robots, then you have a simple way to solve this problem (or outsource it to facebook) by having a "login with facebook to post" button. This don't work for all uses. If you have a photo Gallery, and your bussines plan is to show in the gallery the lores image, and sell the highres somebody will wwgget all of it, by teaching the bot to login with facebook. Random people will use the lores version, and ignore your highres version photos. You you do here, is to watermark all photos in the center with your logo, but this make the photos look uglier. You get paid by a museum to photography and put online a Mayan Codex and other cool stuff , but the museum want you to put the photos online but with DRM... so people still have to visit the museum to watch the book. Then you uses a java applet as viewer, or other ugly way that ofuscate how the computer download and view the images. If you have a forum, you can disable public registration, and allow registration with invites, so to register in the forum you must be invited by a person already in the forum. We don't have to replace CAPTCHA by a single tecnique, It could be replaced by different solutions for different sites. Good News: World levels of spam in email are lowering, more and more and more. Thats a fight the good guys are winning!. -- -- ℱin del ℳensaje.
