Can’t recognise similarities between whole images
Humans directly recognise similarities between images. Computers, by contrast, must compare images by assigning features to them and then comparing those features using some objective criterion.
Humans directly recognise similarities between images. For example, a human can directly perceive two different faces as being gentle, mocking, or puzzled. Computers, by contrast, must compare images by assigning them features and then comparing those features using some objective criterion. But it’s not clear how the perception of two faces as gentle or mocking involves the recognition of shared objective features.
