Welp. It's over guys. Shut down the internet. ChatGPT is basically a human now.
As we all know, many websites use a security feature called CAPTCHA to prevent bots from accessing sensitive information. You've seen it — it's the "select all the images with a bus" kind of test. The idea is to prove to the robot (the computer) that you're not a robot.
Well, here's the twist: now, the very bots CAPTCHA was designed to stop are passing it with flying colors.
ChatGPT's new "Agent" feature — which can browse the web, schedule appointments, log into sites, and even write code — is proving to be a little too effective. It recently bypassed Cloudflare's two-step security checkpoints without breaking a sweat.
From Reddit:
OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, ‘assures us' that their Agent will ‘always ask for permission' before engaging in such tasks.
They also acknowledge the risk. 🫠👇
While these mitigations significantly reduce risk, ChatGPT agent's expanded tools and broader user reach mean its overall risk profile is higher.
To make matters worse for us lower species, this past spring, AI robots passed The Turing Test — a test that demonstrates AI can be indistinguishable from humans online.
From the New York Post:
Developed by British WWII code breaker and computer scientist Alan Turing, this tech-istential exam gauges the intelligence of machines by determining if their digital discourse could be differentiated from that of a human — if they can't tell the difference, the machine has passed.
...
Researchers found that, when 'prompted to adopt a humanlike persona, GPT-4.5 was judged to be the human 73% of the time.'
All we can do is put on our brave face, guys!
