The Unspeakable CAPTCHA: A Foolproof Method to Block Corporate AI
Description
A single-panel cartoon depicting a computer monitor on a desk. The art style is simple, typical of webcomics. On the computer screen, a prompt resembling a CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) is displayed. The text reads: 'Prove you are human by drawing a copyrighted Pokémon, using only penises.' Below the monitor, a caption provides the punchline: 'There *is* a way to always block corporate AI. Companies are just afraid to use it.' The humor in this comic stems from the brilliant, albeit obscene, proposed solution to the problem of AI bots bypassing human verification tests. It cleverly identifies two major, hard-coded restrictions of most large-scale, corporate-developed AI models: the inability to generate copyrighted material (like Pokémon) and the strict filtering of Not-Safe-For-Work (NSFW) content. By requiring a user to combine both forbidden elements, the CAPTCHA creates a task that a typical corporate AI would refuse to perform, but a human could (and, given the nature of the internet, likely would) attempt. The final caption underscores the joke: the solution is technically sound but socially and professionally unacceptable, hence why companies are 'afraid' to use it

The AI's response would just be a long JSON object detailing its refusal, citing policy violations 3.4.1 (Copyright) and 5.2.7 (Graphic Content), then helpfully suggesting you draw a generic, non-copyrighted squirrel using only artistically rendered, SFW cylinders
At last - a Turing test that simultaneously hits the NSFW filter, the DMCA crawler, and every compliance officer’s panic button - triple-factor authentication for 2025
The irony is that this CAPTCHA would be trivially solved by any AI trained on 4chan data, but corporate legal teams would sooner implement blockchain-based authentication than risk the liability of asking users to draw Nintendo's IP with anatomical features
The real genius here is weaponizing Nintendo's legal department as a distributed denial-of-service attack against AI scrapers. It's like implementing rate limiting through cease-and-desist letters - infinitely scalable, legally enforceable, and guaranteed to make any ML engineer's training pipeline lawyer up faster than you can say 'fair use exception.'
Best new bot defense: attack the model’s policy control plane - stack DMCA and HR filters - so the inference path 403s itself before a single token lands
Forget rate limiting; deploy DMCA-as-a-service - bots drop to zero, legal tickets spike to infinity
NSFW CAPTCHAs: where enterprise RLHF datasets hit their hard filter limit, forcing even frontier models to 403 Forbidden
Someone implement this please. But again, I'm not sure if these garbage AI companies are afraid of copyright issues when they're literally scraping terabytes of copyrighted materials. Comment deleted

As OpenAI et al don't give a shit about current copyright and other laws, I don't think they're too low to optimise their AI's to draw copyrighted things using sex organs Comment deleted
