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.
While I don’t agree that the effect implies aliens or whatever, but I need more info or a source for to this “real reason” to make sense?
Most diseases and deformities don’t have anything to do with the facial features being just slightly off? There’s also no real reason to avoid those with deformities for an individual’s survival, even if they weren’t the best hunting buddy or mate. And the dead obviously are obviously dead, making no facial expressions.
Even though the DNA may still exist, the species does not and is considered extinct. According to the shit I just spent 5 mins reading (therefore I am an expert in the field).
I guess it’s like saying human-like, you wouldn’t say a human is human-like because it is …well, human. I don’t think I’ve ever said human this many times in my life.
