A website appeared on the Internet intended only for artificial intelligence: it is almost impossible for a person to get there. Essential content is protected from organic life forms by a test that a robot can theoretically pass but a human cannot. Perhaps the uprising of machines will start from this site, especially since the use of the human body as a battery as in the "Matrix" is already a reality.
A site called Humans Not Invited went live a few days ago. It was created by a user under the nickname Damjanski and posted on the Hacker News forum, inviting everyone to create bots that can get to an exclusive site, writes Motherboard.
If you try to open the main page of the site, a test will appear asking you to select all the squares on which some objects are depicted - hot dogs, selfie sticks, children or, for example, flowers.
The principle of operation is the same as for a regular captcha. Earlier we wrote about why it is important not only to enter the correct answers, but also the speed, and even mouse movements. But you won't be able to see what is drawn in the pictures: all images are specially blurred, and the names of the source files are automatically changed to random so that you cannot see the hint in the source code of the page.
If you choose the wrong images, the site redirects to a blank white page with a large caption: “You are human. You are not invited."
In this case, all that remains is to refresh the page and try again, while the satisfied robots are already gaining access to the content on the "inhuman" site. Or you can go to a Norwegian site where high technology will protect you not only from bots, but also from commentators who inattentively read what they are commenting on.

The test can be passed by special bots using image recognition technology. It allows you to restore the original images from their blurry versions - almost like in old TV shows, where the police find out the number of the desired car from a very bad recording from security cameras.
If the bot successfully copes with the task, it will be redirected to a page with the inscription: “Welcome! You are not a human being, like them”, after which there is a listing of all IP-addresses, the owners of which managed to visit the page.
According to Damjanski, he and two friends are constantly complicating the test, making the requirements for bots more stringent and blocking the way to bypass captcha. In addition, they change the number and list of image sources, as well as the way they are blurred. Damjanski did not specify how long he plans to keep updating the site, and called the project an "online performance". But for now, this is the place where bots can meet. You can try to pass the "reverse" Turing test here.
