Those things have been kicking my ass whenever I have a VPN on lately.
I’m out here clicking stairs, motorbikes, crosswalks, traffic lights, and it just keeps giving me “Try Again” …I’m starting to doubt I’m actually human.

It's actually machine-learning mechanism from google. They basically use all people on the internet to educate their systems about recognising stuff in the picture.
I've been having the same problem even on my home IP. It only happens when I'm using Firefox though. If I use Chrome, and oddly enough change my IP by routing through my rented VPS and pass a few captchas then Google will eventually start to trust Firefox from my home IP. It's bizarre and Google is really starting to piss me off because I'm wasting so much time on this shit.
These days I'm getting increasingly difficult puzzles.
I thought we were just basically training google’s image recognition AI by selecting the squares it asks etc. Nothing to do with security (in practise).
You're probably correct now, but back when Captcha's were introduced, machine vision was nowhere near as advanced as it is now
It's funny, but solving Captcha's probably led to the downfall of Captcha's
We're quickly approaching a world in which the smartest machines are more intelligent than the dumbest humans, which causes a problem for capcha creators.
