   I wish nobody used #reCaptcha. Not only does it forces users to allow Goggle to run scripts in their browser, making users do unpaid mechanical turking for Goggle is just rude. If it contributed to a data commons, like training free code AI, I would't mind so much.

     One thing I've thought about a lot is captchas that could collect samples of natural language, in a range of languages, accents etc under a free license (CC BY-SA or maybe even GPL). These could gradually build up a new speech corpus to add to those being used to train free code voice recognition software (#Voxforge etc)

     @Gotterdammerung that's a cool idea. A sign-recognition engine would be amazing for accessibility. In order to train a free code AI to recognize sign reliably, you'd need a huge corpus of freely licensed video samples of people signing. So when deaf users (and anyone else who can sign) encounter the hypothetical captcha, they could record a video sample instead of a voice sample, or audit one recorded by another user against the text it's meant to represent.
