eli5: How do Captcha’s know the correct answer to things and beyond verification what are their purpose?

335 views

I have heard that they are used to train AI and self driving cars and what not, but if thats the case how do they know the right answers to things. IF they need to train AI to know what a traffic light is, how do they know im actually selecting traffic lights? and could we just collectively agree to only select the top right square over and over and would their systems eventually start to believe it that this was the right answer? Sorry this is a lot of questions

Sometimes they don’t know. I had one the other day kept rudly telling me to.click all the buses. I had clicked all the buses. I triple checked. It still wouldn’t let me progress. It definitely thought there was at least one more bus and I was a moron. There wasn’t. I had to click the refresh to get different pictures. I now live in fear that one day I will be declared a robot by a robot with no right of appeal.
