Aside from the joke in the comic, Gaydar is yet another example of how our brains (all brains, in fact) are pattern matching (creating) engines. Sensory input is interpreted and directs our behaviors to react and respond to what we perceive, as a survival mechanism.
Even living things without actual brains (bacteria, plants) learn to detect patterns in their environment to survive. AI is also all about pattern recognition.

@qurlyjoe@mstdn.social pattern recognision hs awesome indeed! also on þis topic isnt it weird how ppl might misenterpet smþ abstract as a known pattern if þey are told its þere? look at þe library of babel picture edition and its community and þe ppl þere make patterns out of literal noise. some patterns are so abstract it feels weird when you see it
