Post inspired by the bot threat that people on Lemmy have been talking about. I’m not asking how an expert would design it, but how you would design it if you were tasked with it.

Just ask them if they are a bot. Remember, you can’t lie on the internet…
I once worked as a 3rd party in a large internet news site and got assigned a task to replace their current captcha with a partner’s captcha system. This new system would play an ad and ask the user to type the name of the company in that ad.
In my first test I already noticed that the company name was available in a public variable on the site and showed that to my manager by opening the dev tools and passing the captcha test with just some commands.
His response: “no user is gonna go into that much effort just to avoid typing the company name”.
If I’m a bot I have to tell you. It’s in the internet constitution.
I’m pretty sure you have to have 2 bots and ask 1 bot is the other bot would lie about being a bot… something like that.
This explains why Nerv had three Magi computers in Evangelion.
