Recaptcha is shit regardless of whether they use it to train military drones. It serves no purpose other than to infuriate legitimate web users who might or might not be using a VPN or browsing with JS off. It's a test of patience and sanity that doesn't need to exist. There's no fucking way in hell I need to pick out dozens and dozens of buildings or cars or street signs just so google can verify I'm a human. I've given up using multiple sites because sometimes, it never stops even after ten or fifteen minutes. If anything, it goes to show how shitty google's tech is. If this is what they have to resort to, a test a significant portion of humanity cannot pass, to detect humans, they are clearly not at the forefront of anything technologically. Of course, if this technology is used to train military drones, it explains the torture google has been inflicting on humanity with this garbage. While wasting millions, probably billions of human viewing hours is not as big an atrocity as helping military organizations commit war crimes with drones, it's still an ugly, disgusting activity that google forces upon so many, often through thoughtless intermediaries like cloudflare. At least now, I have an even better reason for refusing to fill in these stupid captchas.
