I think you missed my somewhat deeper philosophical point :)
Who gets to decide what is really a picture of a panda?
If we'd manage to craft a picture that could with very high certainty trick human neural nets (for the sake of argument, including those higher cognitive functions) into believing something is a picture of a panda, "except it actually really isn't", what does that even mean?
Human insists it's a picture of a panda, computer classifier maintains it's noise and shapes.
Interesting, sure. But I started out wondering if some obviously-noise picture could be found that fooled humans, at least at first glance. "Hey a panda! Wait, what was I thinking, that's just noise!" It would be weird and cool, on the order of the dress meme etc. but much more so.
Kind of like the memes in Snowcrash, ancient forgotten symbols that make up the kernel of human thought.

Who is right? :)
