But a human brain should only falls for it once. You have your initial reaction, realise it might be the other animal and then from there you know it’s an illusion and the rotation of the picture no longer matters.

What's the correct answer for this? Is it definitely a rabbit regardless of the orientation. Or is it definitely a duck regardless of the orientiation?

I still fail to see how human brain only fall for this illusion once.

If they chose to allow a classification option of (c) optical illusion, then the system could easily learn that. In fact, you could probably make a GAN ambiguous image generator.

An ambiguous image is not always ambiguous.

Eg clever animal camouflage. A caterpillar that looks like a snake should not be classified as ambiguous. It should always be caterpillar.

Ah, but then you open the door to more complex and meaningful classification. For example "insect camouflaged as a stick" or the classic "couch with leopard print pattern".
