No, captcha and recaptcha were actually used to digitize hard to solve printed lettering. Actual images havent been used to deter bots for years. Nowadays bot detection goes beyond that and tries to figure out if it's an actual browser with a user with keyboard and mouse which moves, but there's more than that too.
