You’re a Google Employee, You Just Don’t Realize

You’re a Google employee who doesn’t get paid. Here’s why. If you’ve ever visited a website or tried to create a new account online, chances are you’ve come across a little thing called reCAPTCHA. It’s Google’s way of making sure you’re not a robot trying to spam or hack their site. But what most people don’t know is that reCAPTCHA is not just a security measure. It’s also a way for Google to profit off your data.

These are systems that create content that mimics what a human may produce. Google and Microsoft have already started using this technology for search, but there’s so much more that can be done.
