It sucks to be used to train an AI, but I don't want to use an Internet without some kind of human verification for some endpoints.

If you think it sucks trying to buy high demand stuff like concert tickets or new game consoles, imagine if every service was instantly at capacity. Captchas absolutely don't stop all bots, but they are effective at slowing things down to a more human speed.

The worst thing is that Google has a near monopoly on this technology and they are starting to use it offensively to maintain their monopoly in other areas like what they are planning to do with requirements for play services for captchas so folks using custom roms get locked out of sites/apps. We gotta get developers to ditch the Google captcha services and use alternatives.
