I'd absolutely love that.

On the mobile app, almost everyone who tries to create an account is shown
a captcha. Of those people, 31% of them get the captcha wrong on their
first try, and 17% of those people give up trying to create an account. The
success rate for account creation is less than 50%, in no small part due to
the captcha.

I'd love to eliminate giving our users that headache.
