LOL no. Bots can pass Captchas, but I hit the back button.

I've spent, collectively, probably days of my life clicking squares with just the tip of a handlebar or the faintest shade of the edge of a stoplight, only for bots to still be able to get past it.

Isn't that because the bots were trained on us solving those? That's what I've heard anyways.
