The simplicity of it is logic defying. It used to be that you had to find crosswalks or move puzzle pieces or type blurred letters and numbers, but NOW all the sudden I can just click a box and HEY!, I’m human?

That’s hardly the Turing Test I’d expected.

    Theres a few answrs to this

    1. It uses your movements before this to determine whether it feels like your a bot or not
    2. It makes you wait, the biggest issue with bots is they may try to log in say 50 different passwords for example, so if it takes 5 seconds to do each one it makes boting multiple acounts not worth it.
    3. Google uses catchphas with images to choose. They use this to train their own AI or data to sell
