If you tick the box with a wacom or something like that that has absolute positional input, or if you use caret browsing, it'll often fail you and require you to solve a shed load of picture captchas.
Just doing it quickly achieves that. You have to move your mouse at granny pace to make sure it doesn't bring up the dreaded pics.

They actually could do that as long as they use software (i.e. [faciaIrecognition]) and the data is not stored on Google's servers or accessed by any actual people. If it's part of the 'machine learning CAPTCHA data system' they could probably defend it as legitimate.
I was hoping you’d mention the “suspicious” connection between the fact you’re finding streetlights and fire hydrants, and google’s pursuit of self-driving cars.

Gonna be honest.
I think I'm a robot, cause sometimes I struggle too much with those picture ones.
I don't know if Captchas display in languages other than English or if they always display in English, but I have already gotten a few wrong despite being a native English speaker because they have asked for things that are common to Americans but not common to Brits. For example I got one asking me to identify 'crosswalks', I deducted that a crosswalk must be a 'zebra crossing' (white and black stripes on the road), I clicked all the ones I saw but somehow still failed.
Also the one Tom mentioned in the video about fire hydrants, you would need to have a rudimentary knowledge of the US to get that one since fire hydrants in Europe are hidden from view - they are all beneath the pavement (sidewalk) with just a small 'H' printed nearby on a wall or short sign that only firefighters are trained to look out for. If a kid got that Captcha they would be clueless as to what a hydrant was.
Tom: you should get this if you are techy enough to watch these videos
Me: bold of you to assume i know what I'm doing
watching the basics series it becomes clear that the only real captcha is asking what 0.2 + 0.1 is.
Police: "What's your password?"
Me: "If I knew that, why would I have all these post-it notes?"
