Yeah, I feel like it won't be too long before spammers start finding ways to emulate users without having to solve any CAPTCHAs. Google is likely going to need to switch their 98%/2% to something more like 80%/20% (that is, 20% of users will still need to enter CAPTCHAs).


I am using a small tool that I wrote to integrate Google Keep and other Google stuff with KRunner and so on, and this tool (essentially being a dumb bot) also passes all the Captchas.

I’d say malicious authors would have it really easy now.
