Of course they can! Humans have been training them on this task for 20 years.

am I gonna need an AI to solve captchas now?

cause they've gotten so patently stupidly ridiculous that I cant even solve them as a somewhat barely functional biological intelligence.

If some sites only need me to click the one checkbox to prove I am a human, why aren't ALL sites using this method?!

when you have to click once, means they have been gathering all your actions up to that point, and for sure you are human. If you get asked to click images, means they don't have enough information yet, or you failed some security step (wrong password) and the site told captcha to be extra sure

So we just invert the logic now, right?
Make the captcha impossibly hard to get right for humans but doable for bots, and let people in if they fail the test.
