I remember some people being offended by an auto-generated captcha text.

That's bad design too.

In a previous job, I generated millions of unique codes. We only used a character set without confusable characters (0 vs O), vowels, etc. Captchas should do the same.

Dealing with captcha fields can be deeply painful and is at best annoying. I'm with them.
