    I thought we were just basically training google’s image recognition AI by selecting the squares it asks etc. Nothing to do with security (in practise).

      You’re probably correct now, but back when Captcha’s were introduced, machine vision was nowhere near as advanced as it is now

      It’s funny, but solving Captcha’s probably led to the downfall of Captcha’s
