TLDR: If you modify pixels enough, you confuse humans, especially when you only let the humans look at the tiny blurry image for 70 ms. rolls eyes I feel like this article totally misses the point about why adversarial ML tactics are interesting. The fundamental reason they work is that computers don't have any abstract notion of a cat, a toaster, a banana, or even gravity or matter. THAT is why they're easily fooled. To stack up two adversarial images and say, "Look we fooled humans too, OMG humans are just like computers!" is like saying, "We erased the lines on the road and both self-driving cars AND humans got confused, OMG humans == computers!" I know the article isn't saying humans == computers, but .. come on .. I'm not seeing any merit to this investigation
