CAPTCHA, which stands for "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart," is a widely-used security measure on the internet. Its primary purpose is to ensure that only humans, not bots, are able to access certain online services or perform certain actions. CAPTCHA is designed to be difficult for machines to solve but easy for humans to understand.
 
The use of CAPTCHA has become increasingly prevalent as the internet has grown and bots have become more sophisticated. CAPTCHAs are used to protect a wide variety of online services, including email, social media, online gaming, and e-commerce websites.
 
However, while CAPTCHA is an important security measure, it can also be a source of frustration for users. CAPTCHAs are often difficult to read, requiring users to squint at distorted text, identify pictures of objects, or perform other tasks that can be time-consuming and frustrating.
 
In some cases, CAPTCHAs may even be used to exploit users. For example, some websites may use CAPTCHAs as a form of forced labor, requiring users to solve CAPTCHAs in order to access content or services. In these cases, the website owner may be collecting large amounts of CAPTCHA solutions from users, which can then be sold to companies that use them to train machine learning algorithms.
