Programming a robot to type things, such as trying a bunch of passwords, followed by the Enter key, over and over again, is really easy.

Programming a robot to perform image recognition on a display, see where the button is, recognize it for what it is, and provide a simulated mouse-click or touch input to that location is hard. Some robots can do it, but it’s a lot harder to make that robot.

Those really annoying robot checks where you have to squint to see what letters the malformed colored squiggles inside of the rectangle are supposed to be and type them, or click every picture on the grid that contains crosswalks or stop signs, are nearly impossible to program a robot to do without advanced image recognition and machine learning to the point where it’s not worth making the robot.
