Ultimately, you have to realize that this is a losing battle, unless we have completely draconian control over every piece of silicon. Captchas are being defeated; at this point they're basically just mechanisms to prove you Really Want to Make That Request to the extent that you'll spend some compute time on it, which is starting to become a bit of a waste of electricity and carbon.
