The thing to grab is always on the front layer. Seems like an AI could be pretty easily trained to defeat this. Also when you move the claw left and right, it "leans" in the wrong direction.

Yup. I could guess what needs to be grabbed without reading the prompt because it was always the front-most object. It also has the largest grab area; some of the plushies can't even be grabbed.

Fun idea though

Is there reason to believe this is a good discriminator of human vs AI? I didn't see any about page, or statistic, or anything like that, but maybe I'm just missing it?

Of course not. It is clearly a fun toy.

I'm tired of constantly having to prove I'm a human. Especially if it's trying to be lighthearted and fun on the surface, it just reminds me how Internet has fallen.

I prove I'm a human by giving up trying to use the website. A machine would just relentlessly keep trying. You should try it.

Lichess has a checkmate captcha that I think is cute. It requires you to solve a mate-in-one puzzle to, e.g., post on the forums. (Sorry, don't have a better link, there wasn't any non-technical I could find about it). https://www.reddit.com/r/chess/comments/q19wgq/til_lichess_d...

Because computers turned out to be so bad at chess? :)

Reverse captcha: only robots can reprove one of the Euler problems on the fly? Statistically speaking we can round the people who can into the outlier group, right?
