Ever wonder why these captchas are always cars, bicycles, motorcycles, traffic lights and crosswalks? Because YOU are doing the work of teaching the next generation of AI for self-driving cars.
My favorite is when it asks me to identify stairs. I just imagine a self-driving car mistaking a set of stairs as more road and deciding to try and climb the steps.
I took some compsci classes years ago when this tech was new and that’s exactly how it was described as being handled
Once image recognition software got good enough to be right most of the time they started this shit to help get it the rest of the way to all of the time
Do it any other way and you have to pay those people
Theres a CGPGrey video that describes old techniques. It’s not quite up to date on some of its predictions, but it is how some machine learning works. Of course, it doesn’t discuss current proprietary techniques, because those are company secrets. Still, it’s as good a guess we’ll likely get, unless something radically different has been invented:

It’s common courtesy to link to the xkcd you have the image from. It’s one of them.

Can’t wait until we get trolley problem CAPTCHAs and we have to choose the square with the most expendable human lives

How does it know when it’s right if you’re the one teaching it?
You and many other humans are doing verification work
It’s pretty sure it’s already right, but if enough people get the same image and get it wrong the same way then something’s up, flag it
You know this for a fact?

There is also a second video about more modern stuff, but it’s more a footnote:
