specially prepared data that looks ordinary to humans, but is seen radically differently by machine learning models.

Not necessarily, humans seem to have these features to a weaker extent: https://​​www.nature.com/​​articles/​​s41467-023-40499-0

we find that adversarial perturbations that fool ANNs similarly bias human choice. We further show that the effect is more likely driven by higher-order statistics of natural images to which both humans and ANNs are sensitive, rather than by the detailed architecture of the ANN.
