Just a 15 second game like Snake or Helicopter. Should stop a significant level of bots, no?
I wonder if you can detect if the player is a bot or not, regardless, most captchas are also ml training if I remember correctly
There are two issue posts on the Lemmy github about the captcha options they considered. It is an interesting read. I had no idea there were so many types or even the existence of embedded options. I thought all were 3rd party and most were google, but I was wrong. Still, there are recent Lemmy posts by the devs basically saying the only option to effectively control the bots is by requiring a valid email for account creation.
With AI capabilities now, surely it’s pretty easy for an AI to follow a set of instructions like: create an email, check email, click link in email…etc - is that correct? Or put another way - why would email verification stump ML so consistently if it’s trained to create emails and do the process

Ok interesting thanks!
Like others have said already, bots could likely learn to play those easily … but I’m more concerned about people with disabilities / illnesses that would make playing these games hard, painful or even impossible. Someone who has parkinsons or arthritis for example might be able to click a big square in an image to solve a captcha, but might have trouble to “fine-tune” their movements fast enough to play a minigame that effectively locks them out of the community if they fail, especially if there is a timer involved.
