> AI is still just as bad at sales, marketing, writing and anything involving human subjective appeal as it was a year ago.

All of these have objective metrics (units sold, clicks, likes, etc) and are thus verifiable in principle.

> The reality is that humans are far cheaper than robots in most real world situations.

Do you expect this to be true indefinitely? Robot production scaling has barely started.

This test implies that phantasiacs immediately lock down the full visual fidelity (the orientation of the die), before you specified it. Why would they? I find myself capable of imagining the die in superposition, same as I don't imagine any particular color it has or any surface it may rest on.

What happens when a user without the cookie GETs a slow page? Does he get redirected to fast one to and back?

Maybe I misunderstand what you mean by "load the cookie". What is it if not Set-Cookie header with redirect status? That doesn't seem particularly special to me.

Ironically, defense by obscurity may be the way to go here.

Fork Anubis. Slightly modify the hash function it computes. Deploy. Do not try to make your fork widely adopted. Do not even publish it.

You've just defeated ASICs and any craweler that's special-cased Anubis (currently all of them). If enough people do this, the only recourse they will have is either genuinely executing served js code like a real user or building some unholy pipeline that uses ai agents to compile it to a GPU kernel for every host.
