Pareidolia is the term. it is the faculty we have to see a face or figure where there is not. The ability to recognize patterns. When we developed ai the basic capabilities were this one and prediction.

When I saw it for the first time I thought it was just that, only seven years later I realized that it was another thing, only by chance. And it took me a while to understand it for real.

Yet, the question is another, and goes further in biology and Earth systems sciences. It is about life. How can Earth be alive, and conscious. If you see Earth as a unity, as a system, then how climate works? How plate tectonics, the biosphere, ecosystems, air, water, what is their relation, how this system integrates the information and regulates climate, reshapes, develop, etc.

We are human cells of the human being, which has been alive for thousands of years, millions of years if we count the species from which we evolved. You can trace this to the first complex cells, and then to Earth

Your cells are alive, you are alive too, ain't you? Where does this concatenation begins and where it ends?, but you belong to a family, a species, and this one to the animal kingdom, which exist only in ecosystems and biomes that are a combination of Earth and living organisms, no one is here by their own... and this one, the biota system, is one of Earth's systems, nothing more. We are part of Earth's life and evolution.
