I fully agree. The author seems to confuse "this AI predicts" with "the human brain does". Looking at the quality of image recognition AI, for example the famous guacamole/cat or panda/gun mis-predictions, that's a very far stretch. https://www.labsix.org/physical-objects-that-fool-neural-nets/ https://www.labsix.org/physical-objects-that-fool-neural-net... I used to work on training a saliency-predicting NN and apart from "color and texture are great" it didn't learn much. So I would bet that taking a picture of the same building with a colorful sunset in your back, so that the sun's colors are reflected on the building but not visible in the sky, would generate a hugely different result.
