Ok, then when I follow a link in the article it takes me here: AI Model Fundamentally Cracks CAPTCHAs, Scientists Say
"The point of this research, though, actually has nothing to do with CAPTCHAs. It's about making robots that can visually reason like humans."
"What does he say to people who are uneasy about robots with human-like capabilities? Simply: "This is going to be the march of technology. We will have to take it for granted that computers will be able to work like the human brain."

We've already upgraded. This model can only beat the distortion text CAPTCHAs. The newer ones with the pictures you have to pick correctly are still stronger than AI.

But what if the population keeps getting dumber and dumber?
A 100 years ago it was not unusual to speak at least 2 or more different languages, now kids barely speak English and they are teaching Ebonics at school.
Genetic modification, interbreeding and allowing technology to do everything for us leads me to wonder if indeed we continue in this trend;
Will their be a tipping point where AI advances beyond the mental capacity of your average human being?
It's just a thought...
