From my understanding, the "I'm not a bot" box checks your over all mouse movement and stuff to check if it's natural

The more advanced versions can log your mouse movement activity and general behavior while on a website long before you even get to the box.

From my understanding it's more like a digital tollbooth that's been tracking you across the web, and when it can't figure out who you are/where you've been, it holds you hostage to do free image recognition to train AI as a toll.

When the chapta is just a checkbox it means that chrome/safari has already ratted you out as a human long before.

They do also check mouse movements and the likes, tho. They also check how quick you are to answer

It also checks your browsing history.
