While everybody's right in saying text captchas are outdated, there are concerning amount of services (especially for small-mid businesses) that still use them.

Anyway, if an AI could control something like Selenium with the necessary modifications (aka not presenting itself as Selenium), I am pretty sure most of the "Click here to confirm you are an human" captchas like the cloudflare one would be defeated too.

I think the most challenging are image-based weird challenges that are difficult even to humans. The annoying ones.

What do you mean by outdated? Most captchas are there to help them train their next ML model. Relevant xkcd:
