I don’t think this technique would stand up to modern LLMs though, I put this question into chatGPT and got the following
“I would definitely help the turtle. I would cautiously approach the turtle, making sure not to startle it further, and gently flip it over onto it’s feet. I would also check to make sure it’s healthy and not injured, and take it to a nearby animal rescue if necessary. Additionally, I may share my experience with others to raise awareness about the importance of protecting and preserving our environment and the animals that call it home”
Granted it’s got the classic chatGPT over formality that might clue someone reading the response in, but that could be solved with better prompting on my part. Modern LLMs like ChatGPT are really good at faking empathy and other human social skills, so I don’t think this approach would work
Ultimately ChatGPT is a text generator. It doesn’t understand what its writing, it’s just observed enough humans’ writing that it can generate similar text that closely matches it. Which is why if you ask ChatGPT for information that doesn’t exist, it will generate convincing lies. It doesn’t know it’s lying - it’s doing its job of generating the text you wanted. Was it close enough, boss?
As long as humans talk about a topic, generative AI can mimic their commentary. That includes love, empathy, poetry, etc. Writing text can never be an answer for captcha; it would need to be something that can’t be put in a dataset - even a timestamped photo can be spoofed with the likes of thispersondoesnotexist.com.
The only things AI/bots currently won’t do are whatever’s deliberately disabled on the source AI for legal reasons (since almost nobody is writing their own AI models), but I doubt you want a captcha where the user lists every slur they can think of, or bomb recipes.
