The subject sounds exactly like the reCAPTCHA < https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/index.html%3E tagline. Not sure how beneficial the project would be but I have seen it used. Maybe worth looking into. Thanks, Negative24

Just for the record, this is not a matter for my talk page. I don't encourage using my talk page either to circumvent existing prioritization processes, or to try to resolve deeply complex CS questions. ;) Wikitech (or perhaps Phabricator, depending on the team) is a much more appropriate place than any one individual's talk page to try to adjust department or team-level prioritization, especially when it is someone who isn't even in that department.

Brian,
Quite likely. (: But the Wikimedia CAPTCHA workboard suggests a lack of emphasis on improving the general CAPTCHA situation for Wikimedia. The
two
high priority tasks on that Phabricator workboard last received comments
in
May and June. Those dates, plus the relative quiet on this mailing list, suggest that there could be higher priority placed on CAPTCHA
improvements.
I will discuss this with Luis on his talk page.

what's happening with regard to improving usability for humans and increasing the difficulty for bots?
Generally speaking, isnt that an open problem in computer science?
