It isn't the worst part of using the internet, but it is one we could do without.
It appears that Apple is going to do something about it. There will be a new feature in the upcoming update that will allow users to instantly prove they are human by typing in a code. It sounds like it is as cool as that sounds. It sounds like it could be a real time- saver.
You will be able to find a new "Automatic Verification" heading in the "Apple ID" section of the settings app. According to the text in the app, the new feature will use iCloud verification in both apps and websites. Load up a CAPTCHA and the operating system will take care of it for you.
It sounds handy. Hopefully features like this can be added to other platforms in the future. It's annoying if it serves a purpose. If there is a way to make it less of a hassle for users, that is great.
If I can get computers to stop asking if I'm really human, that would be great. Man, that is very strange.
