  • No, you’re wrong, the Traffic Light examples ARE specifically to gather data to train models.

    No you’re wrong, because the sites that embed those captchas on their page are not doing that to help good.

    If people just wanted a good captcha they wouldn’t need hundreds of millions of photos of street lights and bicycles.

    Yes, they are getting something productive out of the human labor that would be done anyways. Trust me as a web developer, and web scraper, some kind of captcha is necessary for many free services to be useful/economically viable. The core of a good captcha is just making it marginally more expensive for the scraper/bot than it is for you.
