The site tracks the movement of the mouse cursor when you are clicking that button, and there are specific ways in how humans move the mouse that can be analyzed and recognized.

Theres about a million other things they factor in. How fast did you click or touch for example

How long did you hold your finger in the screen?

How accurate was your click position?

Was it at several points, like a finger would, or a very tiny selected pixel?

All those are clumpt into human-like misses or bot-driven commands.

Seems like one could just teach the robot to move like a human.

This is not the answer. I believe it d9es use that as one metric, but what you don't realize is that when you click that box, it is giving Google consent to scan your history and analyze it for human like patterns. If your history is repeated attempts at sites trying to download this or that, or whatever a bot might be set to do, then it would block. Bur if you browsed reddit, then hopped on Amazon, and google the definition of conalingus l, then watched YouTube, the algo would know you are human.
