Yes, when I read "Humans have no problem correctly interpreting adversarial examples, so there must be a way to do it automatically" in the article I thought "aren't optical illusions adversarial examples for human perception?" and also "maybe we just haven't found the other kinds of adversarial examples that work against human perception because we can't show humans sufficiently large numbers of examples and measure the humans' responses accurately enough".
But the optical illusion example seems very strong because if you say that human perception includes abilities to classify things, there are many examples just like your link that show cases where the classification routinely goes wrong.
It seems possible to me that there are as-yet undiscovered adversarial examples in human perception that we simply don't have any feasible way to search for, and may never be able to construct practical examples of. (It would probably be extremely unnerving to experience one in real life.)
