That image is a visual illusion. I find it hard myself to detect that it's a rabbit when it's ears are horizontal like a mouth.

Not sure what is the purpose of it, is it to show that even computers vision algorithms can get confused by visual illusions?

When the output switches to rabbit the picture actually resembles a rabbit. I am unsure if this experiment was supposed to be a “haha look how stupid AI is” type thing or not, but it seems like the cloud vision api is performing as intended.

Creator of the animation here. Most of the relevant information/context behind the animation (including a link to the repo) is in this Reddit comment: https://reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/aydqig/_/ehzyo...

With 3D rotation is even worse

It's a seagull not a duck. Don't confuse the dumb AI even more by not knowing what a duck doesn't look like in the first place. Jeez.

No such thing as a seagull, as my ornithologist friend likes to remind me.

It’s a drawing of a creature that looks a bit like a rabbit or a duck from different angles but is very clearly neither, at best a bad drawing. That’s the failure here - it’s classifying into one of its categories when it shouldn’t be classifying at all.
