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

344 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

I did m-turk for a while. One of the common things you got paid for was to do the pictures for the captcha. They would ask you to select the ones with cars or traffic lights or whatever.

I’m relatively sure those captcha things don’t actually use ai at all and just rely on you answering the tiles it knows are correct.
