The irony of Captcha is in the very statement we're being asked to confirm: "I Am Not a Robot". The image sets are supposedly to be used for training an AI, which is ... a robot, sophisticated, yes, but just as programmed. It's often said that "It's human to err". Well, instead, the Captcha seems to be eager to sample some fine "specimens" of Robot-candidates, indeed giving us poor fallibles the early lessons of artificial programming. "You'll be assimilated. Resistance is Futile!" Borgs, eh?
