How are AI's capable of defeating every captcha when I, a human, get sometimes entirely blocked by captchas all the time.
I get captchas when trying to do google searches if I'm not logged in. Or a lot of the time its "please wait a moment. Don't refresh the page" (the google results will then never load until you refresh the page). A few weeks ago I couldn't get past a cloudflare checkbox on a modern iPhone, and I'm not on a VPN or anything either. Yesterday I tried to visit an old reddit thread I had bookmarked and got "You've been blocked by network security," without a chance to even attempt a captcha.
It is unfair. I too (a human) have been caught in Cloudflare loops. Hopefully these are the dying gasps for captchas and sites will give up soon since they are becoming reverse-captchas.
I've been keeping an eye on my network traffic and as far as i can tell I'm not part of any residential proxy. I used to have an LG tv but not anymore.
My ISP occasionally gives me a new IP upon router reboot and sometimes it improves briefly and sometimes it gets much worse, I think maybe nearby IPs or my ISP in general must have lower than average reputation.
What sort of esoteric setup are you using though? You shouldn't get those messages unless you have a very tainted IP address or extremely old/not-normal browser configuration.
I assume its my IP's reputation, or that of my entire ISP/ASN. As far as i can tell I dont have a residential proxy, but I cant make those same guarantees about nearby IPs.
I do use firefox with third party cookies disabled + ublock origin, but thats on my desktop. I actually see the cloudflare popups more often on my latest-iOS iPhone in stock safari with whatever minimal tracking protection is built in. Not on a VPN, and not using iCloud public relay either. Its very frustrating.

What are bots doing to get past all of these?
