Power Pages Captcha seems very basic

The captcha provided with Power Pages seems to be very basic text captcha and feels pretty much hackable. Is there a more robust option?

Here is an example of the captcha on our multistep form -

With some simple search on the web, I used pytesseract package to do a simple OCR on the captcha image. This recognized most characters as shown below  . My gut feel is that with a better python library, it would be easy for nefarious actors to bypass the captcha. Since the multistep form immediately creates dataverse records on the very first 'Next' click, nefarious actors could easily fill up dataverse with span records.

    We the latest LLMs, these captchas have become too easy. We really need Microsoft to ship better captcha mechanism for Power Pages.
