How is the failure mode different from a human’s? The human mind comes with an answer no matter the situation it’s presented with, and that may be a stupid answer. There is thankfully no (known) input that makes the human mind fail. There are known inputs for some animals though (like chickens).

I'm curious about the chickens. Is this maybe in the same genre of how a shark becomes entranced if flipped upside down?

  It's similar, yes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Yo2UkL-n_Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Yo2UkL-n_Q Pretty inconvenient, with chickens apparently this sometimes happens by accident. They don't get up, ever. They lie there until they get attacked or just die.

    Fascinating... That must be a "drop dead" self-defense mechanism triggered by what looks to it like its beak drawing a line in the dirt due to it being dragged away by a predator.

Though humans do often confabulate, they can also say, "I don't know", "what is that", "wait a minute", "there's something fishy about this", "huh?". Sometimes they can invent a new label or phrase on the spot that captures component attributes.

  Or conservatives just feign knowledge/expertise. It would be funny if someone made a joke version that would confidently misclassify everything

  That would be a response, wouldn't it? If you give an AI "a way out", which is essentially the same, it will take a way out when it thinks it the smartest thing to do. The trick is to lower the punishment for taking the way out. It's not free, but saying a car is a dog gets you -1, where as seeing a car and saying I don't know, only gets you a -.1 punishment (or even a .1 reward, vs a 1 reward for a correct answer).
