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

331 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

An important thing about Captcha the top answer didn’t cover: you are training artificial intelligence. The reason you are getting fire hydrants and bycicles in your captcha grids is because you’re training self driving car software. Before that it was spelling out what words an image contained. Same thing; you were training image-to-text AI.
