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.

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.
ReCaptcha was actually a positive effort with the goal being to help OCR tons of old books, so that’s worth something.
