I know it's a bit of fun and kind of a joke.... but, makes me wonder:

What will happen some day when solvers and bots get so smart and human-like (and the CAPTCHAs evolving to keep up, with harder and harder tests) that the technology "have nots" human beings of our world will not even be able to prove they're human any more?

If you were walking through the desert and came across a tortoise on its back, would you help it? If so, what would it take for you to not help it?

the problem is when they learn to write constructive and helpful comments that are also propaganda

Maybe the tests will move from requiring some precise correct answer to instead requiring randomness that machines can't yet generate. It would be similar to the captcha that asks you to click inside a box and analysis not the answer but how you do it.

Will not happen. Machines are problem solvers not problem creators unlike humans.

exactly. Captchas should just ask the user to design... CAPTCHAS
