No, AdNauseam doesn't work this way, and there are no problems with captcha whatsoever. Other anonymizing solutions might have this effect, but not AN.

The op is implying that by using AN you might trigger some "bot warnings" and Google will start showing captcha more often. Considering that AN is quite similar to a bot, why wouldn't this be the case?

"Which has the side effect of requiring you to input a captcha every time you quickly want to google anything" - this is a common scenario not with AN but in scenarios when Google doesn't have much data about you - a fresh setup, no Google cookies, blocking cookies, Tor browser etc. AN is orthogonal to that - it simply "clicks" ads, bringing Google more money at the expense of advertisers. I use AN on several computers and observe no above-mentioned side effects when Google has enough data on you. When they don't, they will show the captcha. So it's orthogonal to AN.
