For distorted text fields, humans took 9-15 seconds with an accuracy of just 50-84 percent. Bots, on the other hand, beat the tests in less than a second with 99.8 percent accuracy. "There's no easy way using these little image challenges or whatever to distinguish between a human and a bot any more," commented team member Andrew Searles, recommending that organizations should use"intelligent algorithms" to sort bot interactions from legit ones rather than CAPTCHA.Shujun Li, professor of cyber security at the University of Kent, explained that the explosion in advanced machine learning methods have rendered the defense obsolete.

Jess Leroy, senior director of product management at Google Cloud, added:"We are increasingly focused on recognizing and interrupting malicious activity, whether perpetrated by bots or humans.
