      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.

      Girl is tired of capchas, junk fees, and other irritations when using big tech apps and websites, she then fights and kills the physical manifestation of all of those annoyances. But it turns out that there’s a large fee for killing the physical manifestation of those annoyances. The central theme is that regardless of what you do, the big tech companies will get what they want in the end.

        I mean its kind of nonsense because ive never and will never paid a convenience fee, mostly making me download an app is inconvenient enough to get me to not use a given service. But also because the only downside to taking out the ‘physical manifestations’ of these bullshit hypercapitalist scams would be a better world for all of us.
