For the "thinking a panda is a vulture" problem, don't humans fail in similar ways?

This is a good question. My impression is that humans fail and artificial neural networks fail but we don't know enough about the brain to say artificial neural networks fail in the same way as humans.

As another poster notes, humans accept human error more than computer error and I think that's because humans have an internal model of what other humans will do. If I see a car waving in a lane and going slowly, I have some ideas what's happening. I don't think that model would extend to a situation where neural network-driven car was acting "wonky".

Is this a good time to ask whether the dress is blue/black or white/gold? ;)
