I'm only a fractal enthusiast, but my impression is that the key distinction that makes these fractals, or at least fractal-like, is not their detail per se, but that there is complexity at every scale. From the article:

> we find intricate structure at every scale

> At every length scale, small changes in the hyperparameters can lead to large changes in training dynamics

"small changes in the hyperparameters can lead to large changes in training dynamics"

This is the definition of Chaos though no? Butterfly flaps its wings, hurricane on other side of the planet...

As far as I am aware, these kinds of nonlinear relationships are a feature of fractal dynamics, but I'm not a mathematician.
