It can in theory be solved, but the more important question is: will it be solved?

I used a bunch of one-word-answer questions for over a decade now for sucessful spam prevention — trivial for a determined attacker with the time and resources to circumvent (and similarily trivial for me to replace with something else).

This also means for a decade I didn’t ship my user data to google.

Unless you are a really juicy target fending off the bots is enough.
