This implies that weights are a type of language. Neural networks are good at language because they are good at patterns. They can reason about it because their "reasoning" isn’t how we think. The same goes for how they encode images, their vision is entirely different from ours. That's why adversarial attacks work on them and not on us. We don't see anything change in the image, while the neural network now sees that the dog is a cat.
