I’m pretty sure that’s always what capchas were for.. training ai image recognition.
They just also use it as security theater.

For when you need a laugh!
The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!
But, keep it lighthearted and/or within our server's ideals.

Google probably wanted to reduce phone spam so they created a way to keep spam farms busy.
Lol Jdownloader will just solve your captchas automatically as it hits the sites that require it.
Not these ones. They're automatically generated so the computer that creates them will already know what the string is meant to be. You don't need human annotations to use these kinds of capcha as training data.
This is just a road block. They're designed to inconvenience spammers so you get less spam to delete.
But it should be lower case "p" at the end
Capchas aren't generally case sensitive though.
Depends. I know that Microsoft changed to non-case sensitive not terribly long ago (for things like testexchangeconnectivity).
Oh fuck, we’re doomed
Back to looking for images with fire hydrants and ducks then.
And bicycles.
Tin foil hat theory: the oil lobby loves encouraging the use of bicycles for captchas because no matter what, there's always part of the rim of the grainy ass photo just barely sticking into the other square, making you keep locating the fucking bicycles for hours on end, with the hopes that you absolutely hate the sight of them after you've developed PTSD from just trying to visit a stupid website to read something. God damn fucking bicycle captchas.
