🧠Researchers developed a framework using face pareidolia (seeing faces in non-face objects) to test how different AI vision models handle ambiguous visual information. The study found that vision-language models like CLIP and LLaVA tend to over-interpret ambiguous patterns, while pure vision models remain more uncertain and detection models are more conservative.
