Are you sure you're not a robot? However, CAPTCHAs aren't going away just yet.

She uses machine learning algorithms to process information and generate responses, allowing her to learn and adapt to new situations over time. And as a machine, Sophia can be a great interlocutor. She has been programmed with knowledge of various topics such as art, science, and current events.

Robots can't pass reCAPTCHA because there are way more factors other than clicking a box that they can't mimic (e.g. keystrokes, microscopic random movements, IP addresses).

But, she is actually making up her responses instead of just being fed them. In conclusion, Sophia does not have human-level artificial general intelligence, meaning that she does not in fact think for herself or have any emotional capacity of her own yet.
