On: Why can’t a bot tick the 'I'm not a robot' box?

It only catches obvious bots. I write stuff that gets past ReCaptcha all the time. I'm just one guy and I am not even that good at this.

Plenty of other people get past it too: https://medium.com/@jsoverson/bypassing-captchas-with-headle...

I am pretty sure Google is just doing an 80/20 rule here, or even a 99/1 rule since there are so many simple bots that are easy to detect.

I just read that blog post and it relies on using 2Captcha which is literally a service that pays actual humans to solve the captchas for you so it's not actually automating away the human aspect.
