There's a reason captchas have moved mostly image identification systems. These text-based captchas have all been defeated for years.

It's a bit weird how that actually works though...

"Which of these pictures are traffic lights?"

I'd hope with all the self-driving-(ish) cars coming out, any AI like that should be able to identify a traffic light, right?

When you "solve" a captcha like that, you're just helping train the AI you're talking about.

The stuff that determines whether you're a not or not is based on browser information, how you interact with the page, etc.
