How does the “I Am Not A Robot” protect the internet?

1.01K viewsOtherTechnology

The “I Am Not A Robot” box is always at the end of internet forms looking exactly alike from the last time I had checked the box. The exact repetitive graphic nature of the question seems so easy to defeat by even primitive AI.

When you check that box, what’s really happening is that the web page pulls all of your inputs from the last minute or so.  How you’ve scrolled the page, how you typed, how you’ve moved your mouse.  If a computer is the one in control, then their inputs will be extremely predictable.  Keystrokes are exactly 10 per second, the mouse moves in perfectly straight lines at perfectly consistent speeds, etc.  the form will notice those things and deny access.  Everything else in the box is just a trick to get you to provide more inputs to analyze.
