Well, this is awkward. OpenAI’s ChatGPT just casually breezed through one of those “I am not a robot” CAPTCHA tests, complete with the cheeky commentary: “This step is necessary to prove I’m not a bot.” The irony is so thick you could cut it with a knife, and frankly, it’s got me questioning everything we thought we knew about online security.

I’ve been following the discussion around this development, and the reactions are fascinating. Some folks are making jokes about welcoming our robot overlords, others are genuinely concerned about what this means for internet security, and quite a few are just relieved that maybe someone (or something) can finally solve these bloody things consistently.
