Use proof-of-work captchas, many are private by default. Look into Private Captcha or Cap captcha.

There are other captcha alternatives like Turnstile, for example Private Captcha, Altcha etc. - they are owned by mostly “small” independent companies, they are not visual captchas (proof-of-work based) and very accesssible.

Is there a write-up/walkthrough on this? Would be interesting to read. Also: this is kind of another nail in the coffin of non-opensource non-pow captchas.

Yeah, most people here probably have an overstimulated mind and just doing the opposite for a minute or so can be very tough at first!

1. At it's core, it's a Proof-of-Work captcha, so compute load depends on the usage pattern. AI (LLMs) does get better at image/audio recognition, but compute task is the same anywhere, does not matter who "clicks"
