Why are there dogs and eyeballs in my succulents?

Imagine waking up in the middle of the night with this image fresh in your head: At best you feel uneasy. At worst you're afraid of going back to sleep. Why is it that we find this image so disturbing? Probably because disembodied eyeballs and creepy dog faces are not part of our reality. Computers don't see it that way. Eyeballs, dog faces, cacti or agaves, it's all about shapes and patterns to them--one no more or less strange than the other.
