This reminds me of the Yosemite Garbage Can Dilemma.

The stellar quote here is the following:

>_There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists._

I think we have entered a similar era in regards to AIs, but we are now the bears.

I know what the government preferred solution to this problem is.

The very companies building the most advanced AIs are also investing heavily in mechanisms—captchas—designed to prevent machines from impersonating humans.

Every day, we (humans) increasingly struggle to prove we’re human—while machines have no trouble solving these annoying puzzles. We’ve reached a point where deciphering distorted text, “finding the penguin,” or identifying blurry images of bicycles is more challenging for a human than for a multimodal model like GPT-4 or Gemini.

And the more intelligent machines become, the more difficult it will be for humans to prove they are human. This arm race is absurd, and cannot go forever.
