Why can't Google and apple solve the 'are you a human?' check at operating system level. As a user on mobile phone they are already tracking our clicks and should be easy to communicate that to the apps and browsers.
If Google or Apple were to do that, then bad actors could do the same - even if they have to run a bank of old Android phones. Then we'd need some way of distinguishing bot from non-bot - so we'd be back to captcha.
lol no thanks I'd rather not have an OS based tracking API, even worse for every website out there. Just dont use captchas. "Are you a human" is not something a website should know.

This is the only long term solution as ML gets closer to AI.
If your website is fucked because it can't handle the traffic, that's better solved at the source (hardware/software/bandwidth)
If your website is fucked because someone can trivially scrape the most important bits from the web interface, you need to have a business conversation, not a technology conversation.
