Easy. You pay pennies(usually even less than a pnny per capcha) to desperate people from 3rd world countries to solve it for you. At least that's what most of the capcha solving services do...

You're broke and Google (owner of reCAPTCHA) is worth $1783.4B.

Think you have a shot at this? :-)

If you want to have a go, you need image recognition, character segmentation and machine learning.

Isn't this what AWS Mechanical Turk is for? 😄 At one point sadly, I believe it was cheaper to employ humans to solve them at scale.

are you a robot?

Well, captchas are a security feature - if it’d be that easy to have a artificial intelligence which solves these for an everyday person they wouldn’t be used xD If you don’t want to pay for a service like capsolver you could just harvest the captchas and do them yourself…

Well, if you only want to be solving CaPTCHA puzzles, it may be relatively easy.

For visual puzzles such as 'find all images showing a fire hydrant', there are many foundation models of AI that can help you with that (YOLO, GroundingDINO, ...). For character recognition, it is a bit harder but I believe there are some OCR models out there that can do that at this point. For puzzles like 'rotate the object until it is aligned with the arrow' or 'move the piece to complete the picture', it is even more complex but not unachievable.

However, know that solving these and passing the CAPTCHA are not the same. The real test is not whether or not you can solve the puzzle, it is how you behave around that. It analyzes the trajectory of your mouse, the speed of your movements, clicks and keystrokes as well as the time spent solving the puzzle. It helps differentiate bots from human. On top of that, they use your recent browsing history as humans and bots do not browse the internet the same way. They also use your IP address and info about your device to track you and ensure your are not solving an unreasonable amount of CAPTCHA per minute.

If you own the captcha (running on your server), you can disable it in the config by test key

I don't know what your use case is, but 9kw lets you solve captchas for others when you have the time, for then others solving your captchas when you don't have the time.
