I assume they’re trying to fight against bots buying up “hot” Airbnbs that sell out quickly. It’s a weird captcha for sure, but understandable why they wouldn’t want bots accessing the site.
If you have bots buying your merchandise as fast as possible you don't have a bot problem, you have a pricing problem.
Modern web become so unusable and poluted that I don't think that it can get worse.
As someone who added CAPTCHA to their own platform recently after resisting for years because of how much I hate them, I have to tell you that the unfortunate truth is that eventually bad actors ruin the party for everyone on every platform. CAPTCHA is necessary for the same reason locking your car/house is necessary. You can probably not do it 9 times out of 10 and it will be fine, but then that 1/10 happens, all yo…

No can do. You would be in breach of the AirBNB terms of service: "Do not use bots, crawlers, scrapers or other automated means to access or collect data or other content from or otherwise interact with the Airbnb Platform. "
A browser is a bot that interacts with the platform. It's not physically possible to use any website except by directing a tool to do it for you.
Minor and basically unrelated but it’s dice, not dices. Like sheep, it’s singular and plural.
The singular is "die" not "dice".
This is one I'm not worried about, I'd be more annoyed if "more then" or "should of" started taking off :D

I don't see why if I got my credentials right, I have to prove I am not a robot. What if I wanted a robot to access my account on my behalf?
They want people to hit their site and get cross-sold, not order through some aggregator.

Wait, what does a robot do once it rents a house?
You want a place to stay, inform the bot "give me anything good in this area when available", pay the bot extra money, and then the bot goes out and hits the good rooms in the area the moment they become available.
