Keeping Bots at Bay

Bots can cause all kinds of trouble online. To prevent that, computer researchers in the 1990s invented a technique called CAPTCHA ("Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart") to screen bots from entering information into websites.

This system is actually called CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing Test to tell Computers and Humans Apart). It is a computing test to determine if the user is human.

The “I'm not a robot” checkbox is a CAPTCHA, or a “Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart.” Essentially any type of test, whether it's selecting the image with stoplights or typing out a word that's blurry, is a CAPTCHA, which is used to stop bots.

The Fabrication Machine is the film's main antagonist. It was created as a highly intelligent robot by The Scientist under the orders of The Chancellor. Its old name was B.R.A.I.N.
