A "captcha-like task" is any task designed to be easily doable on a computer by a human and very difficult for bots.
If websites are still frequently using such tasks at the beginning of 2029, this market resolves NO. If they've switched over to other forms of verification like third-party documentation (e.g. a driver's license), biometric data, or given up entirely on telling bots apart from humans, it resolves YES.
