I’m not entirely convinced. If I use Claude and instruct it to literally perform interesting interactions on random websites, I would feel like I, personally, am doing something that is at least a bit immoral and a bit unsafe. More so if I have it skills or training to actually sign in and submit forms as though it’s a himan.

Sure, Anthropic wants Claude to be able to solve CAPTCHAs and otherwise pretend to be human. But I’m not at all convinced that it’s okay for them to train these capabilities on websites that expect humans and only humans to interact with them.

You can solve CAPTCHAs with open-weights models. I guess Anthropic works on models not solving CAPTCHAs unless they (models) have a legitimate reason to do it.
