Thought for the day

[Matt_Aranha]

You know those "CAPTCHA" things used to check folk using apps and websites are actually real people?

You know how they always make you check a box to say "I'm not a robot"?

Oughtn't they really say "To the best of my knowledge, I am not a robot"?

Millions of us could be being forced to lie through no fault of our own, and I wouldn't want to get blacklisted from anywhere on account of someone else's laziness.

Pretty soon those bellend hipster web administrators will be giving us full on Voight Kampf tests (which I wouldn't mind, because the one on Bladerunner 2049 looks like tremendous fun, almost like jazz scat).

So you're saying... erm... i don't get what you're saying, except that you suspect you might be a robot

Highly implausible... more a hypothetical musing for a potential future
