The simplicity of it is logic defying. It used to be that you had to find crosswalks or move puzzle pieces or type blurred letters and numbers, but NOW all the sudden I can just click a box and HEY!, I'm human?

That's hardly the Turing Test I'd expected.

Pretty much every time for me. I just close the page when this thing happens. It's not worth the headache.

It's actually detecting you using emotion and aging. That's the real test...

If I was walking in a desert and saw a tortoise on its back, struggling to get up, and I was not helping it

Listening to me talk about that birding hat I want to buy, checking thru Amazon to see if it's on my wishlist.

A side to this is that certain techniques will be deliberately obfuscated or simply omitted as a security measure in the hopes of slowing a bad actor’s eventual bypassing of the measure. It’s an arms race and if the intruder doesn’t know what all the locks even are, it takes longer to break or pick them.

Apart from the mouse thing (which I'm skeptical about), cloudflare also correlates your traffic with other sites hosted on cloudflare. Bots typically don't visit many sites, click around there, find another one, etc, whereas humans will have visited other sites, will be slower at clicking the button, will have left comments on some sites.

I guess Bots started figuring out the previous puzzles.

some of them are also less bot detection and more spam limiting and mitigation. cloudflare's has more stuff built in I'm sure, but things like mCapcha are just proof of work, so if you're trying to make a bunch of accounts or whatever, it's really computationally expensive.
