The actual reason is that Google wants free training for their AI. Here you go:

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

i was unaware of that one thanks
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.
I wish they would correctly name these stupid things an "inconvenience" fee.
Haven't read these in years. Good lord, Girl's hair stylization is getting out of control.
What is that creature? A ghost mole?
Greed beast, a physical manifestation of the greed (for money and your personal data) from the company being interacted with on the phone
Oh so it’s just a cute little Convenience Cat
I'm totally not getting the joke. Am I austist?
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.
