The phenomenon of seeing faces in trees or clouds is known as pareidolia.
Humans see other people in inanimate objects all the time.

Attributing human traits to non humans is called anthropomorphizing The discomfort OP feels is called uncanny valley And to answer OP, Chatgpt is able to pull from multiple sources very quickly and adds related info that you may not have thought to search. But it’s also not always accurate because AI isn’t great at recognizing sarcasm or satire.

Yeah but see that freaks me tf out too. A few nights ago, the moon was shining through the leaves of the oak tree in my backyard in such a way that it vaguely looked like a little kid's face, and I literally said out loud "absolutely not" and went back inside.
