They also discovered what they call the "Goldilocks Zone of Pareidolia." This class of images is where pareidolia is most likely to occur. If the image is too simple, then there’s insufficient detail to form a face. Too complex, and the algorithm will just view it as visual

New ‘Faces in Things’ Dataset Advances Face Detection Algorithms
By
–
This new dataset, “Faces in Things,” dwarfs those of previous studies that typically used only 20-30 stimuli. This scale allowed the researchers to explore how state-of-the-art face detection algorithms behaved after fine-tuning on pareidolic faces, & could also act as a

AI Models Struggle with Pareidolic Face Recognition Until Animal Training
By
–
Among key findings, the team found that AI models don’t seem to recognize pareidolic faces like we do. They observed that it wasn’t until they trained algorithms to recognize animal faces, that they became significantly better at detecting pareidolic faces.

Evolutionary link between animal face recognition and pareidolia
By
–
This unexpected connection hints at a possible evolutionary link between our ability to spot animal faces — crucial for survival — & our tendency to see faces in inanimate objects.

Causal and Anti-causal Learning in Explanatory Models

Are you driving at an answer that might look at a causal explanation? I'm thinking of @bschoelkopf and notions of causal and anti causal learning. But maybe that doesn't help here (I just like it ;-))
