February 1 - Captcha-bot

WHILE active
  IF captcha_detected THEN
    click("I am not a robot.")
  END IF
END WHILE

The robot's name is CAL019.

Cal was created by the Overmind to solve a problem that had become inconvenient.  Uncertainty.

Cal does not hesitate.  He does not wonder what the question even means.  He can click the box, and so he does.

When Cal clicks "I am not a robot.", the Overmind is comforted.

The answer never changes.

I feel it has to be said:
There's a strange moment we're living in where artists are asked to prove their innocence.  Focusing on how a piece was created rather than what it says devalues art as a whole.  Art has always been about intent, not the comfort of the observer.
