Slight aside: The most recent Cloudflare HCaptchas ask you to classify AI generated images. They don’t even look like a proper bike/truck/whatever (I don’t have an example handy).

It’s no “protection” at this point anymore. Websites are using it as an excuse to become even more user hostile. I am worried for the future of the web.
