Why Are So Many Websites Suddenly Demanding Proof You’re Not a Robot?

Websites are adding more verification prompts as AI-generated traffic, crawlers, and agents flood the internet.

Older CAPTCHAs are becoming less effective because AI tools can now solve many of them.

The shift is pushing the web toward stricter identity checks and more invasive security measures.

This raises privacy and usability tradeoffs for users while websites try to block automated abuse.
