Has anybody come across the "honeypot" technique with respect to accessibility?

This technique was just pointed out to me in a separate forum as a way of
preventing form spam:

What is the honeypot technique?

The honeypot technique is a fast, effective way to prevent spam bots from
submitting your forms. Spam bots love form fields and when they encounter a
form field they will fill it out, even if the field is hidden from the user
interface. To leverage this, you can create a form field that should be
left blank, but hide it from human users. When the form is submitted you
can check to see if there's a value for the field and block the form
submission.

So I was wondering if anyone on this forum has adopted this approach over
the more common CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell
Computers and Humans Apart) approach?
