If not today, models will get better at solving captchas in the near future. IMHO, the real concern, however, is cheap captcha solving services.

The solvers are a problem but they give themselves away when they incorrectly fake devices or run out of context. I run a bot detection SaaS and we've had some success blocking them. Their advertised solve times are also wildly inaccurate. They take ages to return a successful token, if at all. The number of companies providing bot mitigation is also growing rapidly, making it difficult for the solvers to stay on top of reverse engineering etc.

And how often does this happen? Do you have any proof? Most YC companies building browser agents have built-in captcha solvers.
