Nah, you’re a robot man. We caught you.
I'm Kilroy.
That's what a bot would say /s
But you're right, the UX sucks, and there are other ways to detect and limit bots that don't impact legitimate users as much - but Google needs to train their AI, and developers need to cargo cult stuff.
These things feel like they are made by microsoft. You click somewhere, wait 3-10 seconds and then you can click again.
A bot trying to solve the captcha would be very fast so it makes sense that they block fast solvers.
A bot would be exactly as fast as possible, while staying below the detection threshold.
