Great example of the real time effect of confirmation bias:
It looks like a beach from the thumbnail. You already expect, "this is a picture of a beach". This is your first impression, and it's just your feeling. Hardly any "information", beyond the picture, but you're confident already.
Then the caption confirms that with an affirming message, "if you see a beach then you're an artist".
Then once it's revealed what it actually is, your brain struggles to see it as anything but a beach. That's how quickly our brains create those connections in our heads.
