Surely it can't be that hard to code

I was curious about this too, so whats the difficult part?
Hunter Rogers
Honestly it is worth a discussion... I just saw a discussion of this - w3.org
There are captcha alternatives, but some of them are no more open and others are wonky in some way. I do find it strange there isn't more interest in the field but maybe if the W3C approves an open spec for capcha compliance that would help.

It's extremely easy but nobody has thought of it before OP

Because it would replace it the same way GNU/+Linux replaced Windows as a Desktop OS.

how will it be funded? making a CAPTCHA like Google's costs server time.
Caleb Johnson
It's open source.
You can host it yourself.

What about a distributed one? Look at the W3 link above right, clearly there are concerns about things like privacy and accessibility (ie something for the blind, deaf, etc.. people to have an option too. Imagine if there was some website you wanted to go to and it was like "Hi, the only way to get in is to read this shit in braille and tell us what it says", which is probably what "click the picture of the fucking cake" feels like to someone blind I'm guessing.).
Perhaps some sort of W3C compliant interpretation could mean that every web server that chose to could use a small percentage of their processing power etc.. to run a distributed capcha app?
I'm kind of surprised that some of the big-data competitors for Google, from Microsoft (Azure) to especially fucking Amazon haven't tried to make their own capcha alternative, in the meantime though

if you site has a low traffic volume, the dataset for the CAPTCHA won't be accurate/will be easy to manipulate. it will likely require powerful hardware too, probably GCloud TPUs.

what the fuck do blind people on the internet?

Dumbest post I've read today.

I'm not one but from what I've read and been told by a blind friend is that many OSes and websites (I think its in current W3C specs and stuff) provide for OCR and there is lots of software that will read stuff to you. Go into the accessibility tab of Windows or a desktop Linux distro and there's probabl;y something that will read shit off as you mouse over it, if not something more involved.
There used to be a lot of proprietary hardware an special kit needed but these days the default setup is a better start than it used to be of people who are blind or have some low vision impairment.
