Cool project, but I do find it quite ironic that it's named friendly captcha when it's not a captcha.

How would you define "CAPTCHA"?

The original expansion was "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart".

CAPTCHA: a computer program or system intended to distinguish human from machine input, typically as a way of thwarting spam and automated extraction of data from websites

I would say this Oxford Languages dictionary definition is close enough.
