I think the headline is misleading.

The point of the article is that the algorithm that Apple is using works as well as Apple says it does, and the headline implies that it doesn't.

What would be a better (i.e. more accurate and neutral) title?

A reply by the moderator! I am honored.

I think the headline should be:

ImageNet contains about as many naturally occurring NeuralHash collisions as Apple predicts

Hey, OP here - while that is also true, I think the average observer would think this number _should_ be zero. The fact that any exist at all is surprising (but the fact that only two exist is also surprising; I expected to find either zero or lots when I started the script).
