    I’m pretty sure that’s always what capchas were for… training ai image recognition.

    They just also use it as security theater.

      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.
