That's part of the reason why.

And I'm pretty sure they watched YouTube videos too and Google got mad about it.

Here's my other thought.

Do you guys know what CAPTCHA is?

Remember CAPTCHA?

Yeah.

CAPTCHA is when you try to log into a site and it says, are you a robot?

And then you've got to solve a puzzle.

You've seen it before.

So the original reCAPTCHA was text.

You would try logging into a website.

It would say, prove you're not a robot.

And then it would show you two words that were all mangled.

And it would say, type these words out.

Hmm.

The truth is only one of the words was the actual code.

What reCAPTCHA was doing was using human labor to train AI to read physical text.

So the issue is for a camera to identify text, you need a data set.

So what they would do is here's a list of words we know.

And so they'd show you a picture of, you know, it would be like shillelagh and it would be like bent because it was scanned from a book.
