From NewScientist: An AI can beat CAPTCHA tests 100 per cent of the time
Sadly I can't access the article because I selfishly refuse to "give my information" to them.
I'm having a similar problem with AT&T right now. They've added a bunch of fraudulent charges to my bill, admitted to it, but if I want them removed they "must" do some stupid voice print thing. I refuse.
I will not do it, never gonna do it. Now I'm embroiled about 5 layers deep and no acquiescence yet? I'm not capitulating. I've stated about 50 times now, tbius is not in the contract and I will not do it. Still being run around. I actually have lawyers involved now... This may actually go to court!

And that's not even AI. You can already ask openAI to generate a dog walking a human on a leash, pick the dog type and the human characteristics, and it will generate a full length video of exactly that. So, I don't know what kind of relationships between disparate things you could use to fool it. (and by 'fool it', I mean make it unable to do something only a human could).
Plus, today most of the AI we've all been exposed to so far is "narrow" AI. "General" AI is a far scarier prospect. And there's "super" AI on the horizon now too. And here's the thing, narrow AI is generally subject based. General AI isn't. But now they have narrow AI machines crunching down things where the subject is "General AI". So, while the creator is only narrow AI, it can create something which is capable of general AI. This has closed the developmental path from years to months (or even days in some cases). Once we get to general AI boxes working on super AI "they/it" may ignore human inputs altogether.
edit - Back in the '80's people used to scoff at concepts like "Skynet" from the Terminator movie franchise. Now it's almost a reality, and it's everywhere. We're already hearing about AI being used on the battlefield by militaries around the globe. How long will it be before AI realizes who the real problem is (i.e. people) and starts to eliminate them?
Amazon has a public facial recognition database at least 10 years now.
