How is a highway overpass not a bridge? I would classify it as one.

That's the beauty of being human.
We can both look at the same image and have two different opinions about it. An AI simply boils it down to a confidence rating and if they're confident enough that an overpass IS a bridge, then your opinion does not matter to them.
My interpretation of overpass is that it can be a bridge but is not always a bridge.

However, I would totally accept your point of view if you said an overpass is also a bridge.

I wonder if captchas are driving any change in language.
What's particularly degrading is when it asks you to do something like "select all the bridges" and you as a human see one that is clearly an overpass, not a bridge. You don't select it because it's not what you'd call a bridge. You're inhuman.
You're asked to select the motorcycles.. Here's a motorised scooter that looks a lot like a motorcycle. You thought that wasn't a motorcycle? Back to the training camps with you until you start to think like a human.
Now select all the mountains. Huh? That raised mound of grass doesn't look like a mountain to you? Guess again, inhuman scum.
At least with the "audio captcha" I feel like I might be contributing to some closed captions for another human :(
