Remember 'dogception'? That was (as illustrated in this post) what resulted when an AI over matched for patterns resembling parts of dogs, thus reinterpreting any impage so it looked like it was filled up with dogs. I get a similar effect when I look at my bedroom ceiling - I 'see' dogs in the sames and patterns of the knots in the pine boards. This articxle describes David Brian Smith's similar sort of effect in pastoral landscapes - not just dogs, but all matter of things. "Within the sky, fields, rivers, and forests, hundreds of little hatch marks, flowers, starbursts, and other thematic motifs dance across the surface." I don't see the world that way (I wish I did) but I can easily understand how someone would, and how it might alter their sense of what things actually are.
