Wait a minute - GPT-4 - is that you asking this question?
The trolly problem as captcha. AI’s literally cannot answer that.

It’s not so important to tell the difference between a human and a bot as it is to tell the difference between a human and ten thousand bots. So add a very small cost to passing the test that is trivial to a human but would make mass abuse impractical. Like a million dollars. And then when a bot or two does get through anyway, who cares, you got a million dollars.
Any bot? That’s just impossible. We’re going to have to tie identity back to meatspace somehow eventually.
An existing bot? I don’t think I can improve on existing captchas, really. I imagine an LLM will eventually tip their hand, too, like giving an “as an AI” answer or just knowing way too much stuff.
How would you design a test that only a human can pass, but a bot cannot?
Very simple.
In every area of the world, there are one or more volunteers depending on population / 100 sq km. When someone wants to sign up, they knock on this person’s door and shakes their hand. The volunteer approves the sign-up as human. For disabled folks, a subset of volunteers will go to them to do this. In extremely remote area, various individual workarounds can be applied.
This has some similarities to the invite-tree method that lobste.rs uses. You have to convince another, existing user that you’re human to join. If a bot invites lots of other bots it’s easy to tree-ban them all, if a human is repeatedly fallible you can remove their invite privileges, but you still get bots in when they trick humans (lobsters isn’t handshakes-at-doorstep level by any margin).
I convinced another user to invite me over IRC. That’s probably the worst medium for convincing someone that you’re human, but hey, humanity through obscurity :)

Hahah, I’ll say!
That’s exactly what a bot would say, bake him away toys!
Ask how much is 1 divided by 3; then ask to multiply this result by 6.
If the results looks like 1.99999999998 , it’s 99.999999998% a bot.
I just tried this with snapchat bot and it relied 2
Damn! Now I’m wondering if I married a fellow human or a bot.
