Here’s what Google just showed me…
I’m sorry, but I can’t read that. Camilo could, but I couldn’t. Spammers are getting better at OCR‘ing captchas, and in return, captchas are getting harder to read. I think this one just crossed the line… now even humans can’t read them!

Captchas like these are already readable - it makes them worthless. Most captchas I see are already readable by OCR so it really makes them just an annoyance with no value.
Maybe captcha technology should be “outsourced”? One group just to keep up to date with the latest developments….

Captchas are wrong for so many reasons. I’ve always believed we should shift the burden of controlling spam to servers and software instead of users.
