&gt;I don&#x27;t think any humans are going to be fooled by this procedure, so what algorithm do people use to classify? There must be other algos out there that are more plausible as explanations for what humans (and animals) use?<p>Personally, it seems very plausible to me that humans and animals use generative modeling (which was behind the &quot;human-level concept learning&quot; paper published this month) rather than discriminative (like typical neural networks).
