• Automated solutions like CAPTCHA or non public automated turing tests, also known as reverse Turing tests
  These kind of solutions include the following:
  • 2 : sound output
    This may be the best of bad options :
    • It allows access to blind people, and can easily be generated by a machine.
      But :
      • This type of test is not accessible for deaf people!
      • Speech recognition research is very advanced, and human has poor speech recognition faculties compared to image recognition.
  • 6 : heuristic checks
    This solution is a curative solution, and is not preventive.
    Indeed, heuristic check can point out that a user is not human only after this user has caused damage, and non-human patterns have been identified.

• Manual solutions also known as Turing tests.
  These kind of tests include:
  • 1 : logic puzzles
    We completly agree with Matt May on this point. We also consider that designing logic puzzle that are not cultural or language
    dependant is only possible throught mathematical puzzles. But on this particular field, calculation, robots have already proved their superiority...
    Plus, generating automatically a large number of independant logical tests does not seem feasable. This is why we classified this solution as manual.
    belou, je pense que cette partie est à revoir. Le fait de ne pas avoir aujourd'hui la solution pour automatiser les tests logique ne suffit pas pour classer la logique en tant que solution non automatisable, tu ne penses pas?
  • 5: Limited-use accounts
    This is the manual version of the heuristic checks.
  • 4 : live operator, by phone or chat
    This is the best option : real Turing tests. The only limiting factor is economic : providing operator for all requests without delay is surely a very expensive solution.
