There are browser plugins, but I haven’t tried any of them.
General purpose CAPTCHA solver could be really difficult assuming people would start building more diverse CAPTCHAS. All CAPTCHAS I’ve seen so far has been of a few number of types.
One “cheat” would be to let users use their camera and microphone to record them saying a specified sentence. Deepfakes can still be detected, especially if we add requirements such as “say it in a cheerful tone” and “cover part of your mouth with your finger”. That’s not of course a solution to the competition but might be a potential workaround.
The “90% of internet users can do it” is a really binding constraint. Ability to speak in a requested tone or the like cuts out a surprisingly large portion of real humans.
A lot hinges on the requirements and acceptable error rates in both directions, too. “Identify using your bank or mobile account” limits AIs pretty strictly to those with enough backing to get a bank or phone, and certainly cuts down on quantity of non-human accounts. But it’s also a lot of friction for humans, and a lot will choose not to do so, or be unable to.
