Someone told me that spambots have started using Google's own AI (computer vision) to break reCaptcha now and supposedly a lot of bots have started slipping past it.
reCAPTCHA has had known flaws for quite some time now. Its major effect is to annoy your visitors.
What better alternative is there, though?
What if the registration questions were displayed in random order? So that a bot couldn't know which question is which.
They are.If the Q&As are right which I'll admit takes some effort, I've found that to be 100% effective
...Obviously the difficulty would depend on just how accessible to the general public said site needs to be, and the more niche it is, the more strict the requirements could be there.
For instance, this one would be pretty brutal for most sites:

Q&A I found to be bad. I think low wage people answer them and store them in a database.
Years ago I stumbled on "Type karting in the box" for the QA, for some reason the phrasing seemed to confound the bots.
Would "karting" AND "karting in the box" pass?Exactly that kind of Q&A has always worked for me. It's what I use on the majority of my forums and I rarely get spam of any kind.Years ago I stumbled on "Type karting in the box" for the QA
Can you share the name of the plugin?I have a 100% effective add on for bots
