Computer scientists have developed artificial intelligence that can outsmart the Captcha website security check system.
Captcha challenges people to prove they are human by recognising combinations of letters and numbers that machines would struggle to complete correctly.
Researchers developed an algorithm that imitates how the human brain responds to these visual clues.
The neural network could identify letters and numbers from their shapes.
The research, conducted by Vicarious - a Californian artificial intelligence firm funded by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg - is published in the journal Science.
Good. Now maybe I can get past Captchas.

I have poor eyesight as well and have many friends that are blind or near-blind. I challenge almost anyone who thinks that visual CAPTCHAs are bad to try the audio ones. Some of those are just insane. They are random assemblages of noise and whatever. The Google ones can be frustrating too, as the answers have to match what most people put in and the audio is ~4 seconds clipped from random Google Voice phone messages. So, do you put the whole word in when it is cut off or just part? When two people talk over each other, which is the right answer? What about messages in foreign languages? Literal gibberish (like young children)? Completely made up of noise?
