I’m reminded of the tale of a similar breakthrough, and upon ablation, it was found to be indexing on a particular artifact found on one X-ray machine. Or maybe the patient name?

Anyways, would recommend some caution, there’s no reason to believe there’s some obvious fundamental difference in brain organization that we can’t see ourselves, until the research is a bit further along :)

AI research is old. There's an (apocryphal?) 30 year old tale about using computer vision to detect tanks.

All the photos of tanks had clouds in the sky. And few to none of the counter examples had clouds. So darpa paid for an expensive cloud detector.

Without more information about the study, I'm guessing there's a 'M' or 'F' stamped on the image somewhere.
