I tried Wolrfram ImageIdentify with a bunch of bicycle photos and it insisted on identifying them as "Bicycle Saddle".
I kept trying different ones and it kept identifying as "Bicycle Saddle"...

To be fair that is one of the few things on a bike that isn't a triangle.

I had some success with pictures of sofas from a top view, but a lot came out as complete nonsense like "nail" or "light bulb". Seems on at least some patterns it is trained to view things in a particular orientation that you would normally see them in. I imagine that if it did exhaustive rotation searches on a lot of objects the results would often be completely incorrect.
I tried the unrotated sofa image on Wolfram's ImageIdentify and it correctly identified a settee [1]. So it presumably gathered that from the shape of the image rather than the pattern. It is peculiar though that it can't see the shape under a simple rotation. Or perhaps the margin of confidence levels between sofa and leopard were so narrow that a rotation was enough to tip it in favour of the leopard? I'd be interested to see the inner workings of this.
