After reading the app description in your link, I still don't understand, what does this Captcha app actually do, and what does it have to do with A.I.?

  • The Captcha extension allows you to automatically bypass Captcha prompts by clicking an extension-exclusive icon that pops up on the Captcha.
  • When you're completing a Captcha manually, what you're actually doing is being given samples from a dataset and training AI to be able to accurately pick patterns out of images. Essentially, you're doing free labor for Google.
