#4> This isn’t perfect of course, we can debate the accessibility tradeoffs and weaknesses, but conceptually the idea makes some sense.
It was arguably never a great idea to begin with, and stopped making sense entirely with the advent of generative AI.

Not really, AI easily automates traditional captchas now. At least this one does not need extensions to bypass.

#6The argument isn't that it's difficult for them to circumvent - it's not - but that it adds enough friction to force them to rethink how they're scraping at scale and/or self-throttle.
I personally don't care about the act of scraping itself, but the volume of scraping traffic has forced administrators' hands here. I suspect we'd be seeing far fewer deployments if the scrapers behaved themselves to begin with.

you are overthinking
it's a simple as having a nice picture there make this whole thing feel nicer, and give it a bit of personality
so you put in some picture/art you like
that's it
similar any site sing it can change that picture, but there isn't any fundamental problem with the picture, so most can't care to change it
