I try hard not to be a luddite as I age, but this level of automation and machine learning is so concerning.

It is SO frustrating to accidentally appear as a bot and get stuck at the mercy of an automated system. I was on some random site the other day and spent 3+ minutes solving Captchas until it finally let me through. I thought I was losing my mind. I don't spam, I don't automate queries, I come from an IP that has two residential users (netflix, xbox traffic dominate everything). Who knows what I did to offend the algorithm.
