    That’s kind of the point, though. You’re teaching their AI how to make those decisions.

      Am I? Or does it think I’m a bot?

      I guess it’s on brand for Google to try and squeeze more value out of a product by making it worse for users. Just like Prabhakar Raghavan ruined Google search.

        They almost always know whether or not you’re a bot before you get to any of those pictures. Making you deal with the pictures is how they “pay” for the capcha.

        You’ll notice most of the images are related to traffic. That’s training data for their self driving cars.
