It isn't surprising that a model trained for alligning photos and corresponding text labels has neurons that have learned higher semantic concepts as that is exactly the goal of generalisation.

Presumably that’s why they tried it? They’re reporting on how well it worked, and in particular how it seems to be encoded.
