One my most embarrassing personal moments with tech is that I wasn’t immediately revolted when I learned that captcha was being used to farm training data. I just didn’t think it through, and didn’t think I needed to think it through. A hang over from the era of Google in the naughties I suppose.

Still … fool me once …
ReCaptcha was actually a positive effort with the goal being to help OCR tons of old books, so that’s worth something.
The original Google captcha was back in the Don’t Be Evil time, if I’m not mistaken. No shame in believing them back then.
