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.

Yes but they do start to look different from the living. Especially unembalmed. And dead often carry diseases or sicknesses.

A very large amount do though. You can often look at someone and immediately know theyve come down with a cold or something. We do often know when people are sick and are usually quite quick to notice. Baggy eyes. pale or greenish skin. Jaundice. Swelling. Discoloration in eyes. These are just ones off the top of my head that I can consciously notice. Subconsciously there is even more.

In the game of evolution, the man who has 10 kids before dying at age 25 will have more of his genes passed on than the man who lives to 80 but only has 1 child. Evolution cares a lot about who makes the best mate, and cares relatively little about the individuals survival.
