ELI5 Why exactly does the "Are you human?" Captcha box thing exist?
I find it hard to believe that a robot or AI is unable to click the "Are you human?" box, as well as the more "difficult" captcha that involves identifying which pictures contain a bus or bicycle, especially if they already completed their task far enough to end up at the captcha box. It isn't exactly a good security measure and I don't understand the existence of this, or atleast why something else hasn't been put into place due to how intelligent robots and AI have gotten throughout the years
