I always found it kind of ironic that the tool used to prevent robot traffic, CAPTCHA, is also used as a data source train robots.

I don't want you getting through this lock, so I'm going to sit you down and meticulously teach you how to get through this lock...

What's even more ironic is that we basically don't need human data anymore to create AI that classify objects or detect their boundaries. With algorithms like DINO we don't even need labeled data at all, you just throw images at it and it learns on its own.

Google spent all this time collecting data through CAPTCHAs to train AI and now it might as well be obsolete.
