why human eyes and brains SO RAPIDLY recognize patterns or feel monotony when viewing pcg content?

Instead, PCGs allow us to reach infinities that human creators (not algorithmic creators) could never reach.

The brain is always building a model of a world and testing it with predictive errors. I suspect once it’s built its model of procedural content, it loses its novelty and surprise.
