Web security experts are making captchas increasingly bizarre and challenging to distinguish humans from bots. Instead of the traditional distorted words or simple tasks, captchas now require users to identify shapes, match objects, or click on specific images. This shift aims to outsmart bots that try to mimic human behavior and disrupt websites. However, these new captchas have become a source of frustration for users, sparking memes and complaints online. Comedians have even incorporated the difficulty of captchas into their routines, highlighting the increasingly perplexing nature of these tests.
