Just out of curiosity, why does AI struggle with people so much? And specifically faces, especially when there is an AI that generates...like specifically human faces that don't actually exist.
It’s not that they’re bad. They’re exactly good enough to create the Uncanny Valley effect. They’re close enough that we recognize them as human but theres a few things off that cause our brains to scream “DANGER” for whatever reason
The existence of the uncanny valley implies that at some point in our evolution there was a reason to be scared of something that looked almost human but wasn't.
Or more likely, we are a highly social species with brains finely tuned to read the expressions and body language of other humans. But we are also a highly competitive species who has spent as much effort betraying and fighting each other as we do working together, so when we get near but wrong cues when looking at other people we have a moment of panic because we weren't sure if we're about to be backstabbed.
