    Also, captchas are meant to gather data to train on. That’s why we used to have pictures of writing, but that’s basically solved now. It’s why we now have a lot of self driving vehicle focused ones now, like identifying busses, bikes, traffic lights/signs, and that sort of thing.

    Captchas get humans to label data so the ML algorithms can train on it, eventually being able to identify the tests themselves.
