Is there? Humans used to think the gods were literally watching them from the sky and the constellations were actual creatures sent into the night. So this seems learned behavior from data rather than some inherent part of human thinking.

So will a human if something is close enough to a face. A shadow at night for example might look just like a human face. Children will often think there's a monster in the room or under their bed.
- kortilla 5y agoChildren will think there is a monster under their bed based on no evidence at all. That speaks to something beyond object recognition that happens at a different processing layer. Humans do not need to be trained on billions of images from around the globe to semantically understand where human faces are not expected to appear. Modern AI can certainly recognize faces really well with that level of training now, but it still doesn’t even understand what a face is (i.e. no model of reality to verify its identification against).
