Lol. Bots can.

Captchas is a arms race. What you’re seeing with those check boxes is like… The tip of the iceberg.

I do a lot of web scraping. There’s a bunch of tools and services to bypass captchas that are attempting to stop people like me. And just like door locks, its only a countermeasure to those who are curious. But ambitious people know all the tricks.
