"Of course, out here in the real world, captchas have never been about keeping bots out of sites, and instead are just a way to trick the world into training AI." Yes, and thanks to TDWTF for participating in that effort!

all captchas should have alt text like this, if you ask me. for accessibility, of course

So the problem is using number 5 instead of 4 because the latter is the true random number according to https://xkcd.com/221/ .

It probably works just fine. Any old rubbish will slow down bots, and the more nonstandard the rubbish the less likely they'll be able to deal with it. In particular a badly-done roll-your-own is probably vastly better than a well-done standard one that all bots have been built to bypass.
