A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

The 20 years thing was my bafflement as to why people felt the need to explain what Captchas are. Not a justification for their existence. When I ask "why" I think I'm pretty clearly not asking to have how Captchas work explained to me.
Putting that aside, can you explain to me how asking you to identify a traffic light is "at the expense of literally everyone"?
Someone was saying "they'll train smart cars! And sell it to us as a subscription!" which I think is the same route you're going down. But... how is that at the expense of everyone? And would not training smart cars benefit anyone? Is someone else going to do it? Is there a FOSS smart car I can contribue to? And is that FOSS going to prevent bad actors from training it to misbehave?
I guess you don't value your time, but maybe as you get older you will learn to value it more.
I'm almost certainly older than you, but I'm still interested to hear how deliberately answering Captchas incorrectly saves time over answering them correctly.
