AI Agent Politely Asks Human for Help When Stuck on 'Verify You're Human' CAPTCHA

Omar Shahine shared a screenshot of an AI agent that got stuck at a website's "verify you're human" checkbox and politely asked its user: "Want me to click through it, or would you rather take over the browser and clear it yourself?"
The moment is both funny and telling — an agent deferring to its human at the one gate designed to prove humanity.
