In some pictures not all 5 fingers on a hand are visible, so maybe it appears that humans have a variable amount of fingers?

  Humans with less than 5 fingers per hand do indeed exist. How does that lead to a default of 7?

    Counting fingers is how humans do it, not necessarily how AI does. On a five-fingered hand, fingers are more likely to have neighbors than not. Why wouldn't the default be infinite fingers?

    I meant more because people are holding objects or their hand is just at an angle where all fingers are not visible in the picture. I don't understand how neutral networks operate, but my layman's guess is that when you sometimes see hands with 5 fingers visible, sometimes 4, sometimes 3, sometimes 2, sometimes 1, and sometimes 0, then it's not immediately apparent that it means that every hand has between 5 and 0 fingers. Think of it this way, if the AI has ever only seen houses with a maximum of 10 windows in it's entire training set, is it so unthinkable that it sometimes draws a house with 12 windows? that's a "sensible" understanding about how houses have a variable amount of windows. It just doesn't work for fingers. I'm sure the same issue would arise if humans had other body parts that came in large quantities, but almost everything else is either 1 or 2 like the nose or eyes.
