You can argue the data collection is legit and does not need the user consent, because it is needed in order to perform the core function to separate bots from humans. Thus, no special consent is needed.

The different question is that if Google uses this data for purposes it is not intended. In this case the service might be still GDPR compliant from the website implementor point of view, but Google would be doing fraud by breaking their Terms of Service how the data is handled.
