Is the title here implying users will be chatting with bots run by the companies? Why in the world would they do that? Clearly the purpose here is to weed out fraud and abuse more easily by analyzing chats between users. I'd welcome

50% or 0% are both interesting goals, but the headline implies that the website is some test of free will. If you get 0%, then it shows there is an algorithm that predicts your performance, and the Kolmogorov complexity is finite. That alg
