        If you see the word “boffin” in your article, you’re probably reading The Register.

          It also sounds like a Dickensian surname for a smart person.

            “Boffin” sounds like an insult, not something you’d call a smart person. Someone who’s easily baffled.

            Also reminds me of a Zappa song, “Broken Hearts are for Assholes”, in which he speaks of a Sir Richard Pumpaloaf, a demented bread boffer.

      And it would have worked, if not for those meddling boffins!

      Neutral mob with low HP. Won’t attack unless provoked. Not a threat except in large numbers.

    The utility of reCAPTCHA challenges appears to be significantly diminished in an era when AI models can answer CAPTCHA questions almost as well as humans.

    Maybe - but using an AI isn’t exactly free. Depending on how many captchas you’re solving this could be a significant cost.
