This looks like a really nice paper on shortcomings of ML vision models as a model of biological vision, and how to improve them. We did a paper a few years ago on speech recognition models compared to human hearing and I wonder if the results would be different now with the latest models.

AI vision is insanely good nowadays—but is it really like human vision or something else entirely? In our new pre-print, we pinpoint a fundamental visual mechanism that's trivial for humans yet causes most models to fail spectacularly. Let's dive in👇🧠 [https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.05253]
