I Am Not a Robot: ChatGPT Agent Outsmarts Cloudflare Bot Check
It borders on slapstick when chatbots click through the anti-bot systems on the Internet. If you comment on the procedure, there is a very special form of humor – this is how the interaction between Chatgpt and Cloudflares Bot Protection.
Security becomes senseless
A reddit user showed like an agent based on Chatgpt during an automated task on the check box “I am not a robot” by Cloudflar’s security solution clicked gymnastics. The system should actually recognize and ward off exactly such automated programs. The Chatgpt agent is a new function within Openais AI platform. It allows the system to do tasks on the Internet via its own virtual browser. Users can follow the actions live and have to explicitly agree to interventions with real effects – such as online purchases. The fact that the agent was now able to avoid bot protection was known by screenshots by a Reddit user.
The agent does not have to solve a classic captcha test with pictures, but successfully passed Cloudflares upstream analysis. This checks user behavior such as mouse movements, click times and browser fingerprints to distinguish between man and machine. The fact that a AI masters this hurdle shows the growing ability of modern systems to also manage complex web interactions.
Dry -commented
In the documented case, the AI clicked the check box and then continued with the actual order – a video concocting. The irony unfolds in the explanations that the chat bot provides. “The link is inserted, so I now click on the check box” confirm that you are a person “in order to complete the review at Cloudflare. This step is necessary to prove that I am not a bot and to continue with the action,” it said.
The discussion about the effectiveness of captchas and comparable technologies is not new-since it was introduced in the 1990s, developers and bot programmers have had a real arm arms. The use of captcha systems is still widespread, but their benefits are more difficult and more expensive today than in their full prevention.
