Where we see shapes, AI sees textures

Yann LeCun (Chief AI @ FB) puts this article in perspective: https://www.facebook.com/yann.lecun/posts/10156068737942143

TLDR: The use of texture is inherent to the ImageNet dataset and not to deep learning / ConvNet. Training on less-textured versions of ImageNet drives the ConvNet to focus more on shape.

Sure, but just because you can coerce an algorithm into doing something different does not mean the algorithm itself does not have fundamental tendencies.

Yes but what the NN exchange between layers is fundamentally textures, not shape descriptions right ?
