Is it bad that my eyes didn't see any monsters?

Same, they started to look more cartoonish, kinda like caricatures, but that was it for me

Same. A bit caricaturish but nothing as intense or surprising as the others here seem to experience.

Idk if they just feel more creeped out by those mild exaggerations or whether we're just seeing something entirely different

I was getting, like… smudged faces, I guess, some gave an impression of having a cyclops eye, some were like cartoonishly large or small features, mostly it seemed like stretched eyes, enlarged mouth, forehead, and chin. If I saw it coming at me in real life I’d probably call something like that a monster, but as an image… eh, still in the “exaggerated human” basket.

Btw. Many of the pictures already have weird grimaces, even when you look at them directly.

So I genuinely don't know if my brain is even morphing much more than the images themselves are already weird

Its not really. Its just filling in details based on what it is given. As its sort of in your peripheral vision so your brain isnt giving it full attention.

But you can see how it is creating the warping effects. Darkened eyes over several shots suddenly in a brighter pic with the person having bigger eyes so that one flashes like it was a big eyed monstrosity. Closed mouth smiles suddenly flashing into a wide mouth smile with darker skin so the flash makes it seem like the person has huge teeth.

Stuff like that. Its definitely curated to cause the changes

I’m in exactly the same boat, FWIW. It’s a funhouse mirror effect.
