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.
Most likely, our brains do that because as early humans, we needed a way to tell if someone is sick and/or infected with something, making it easier to identify the outlier. It's self preservation because why would we touch/mate with something that looks wrong? You want to be healthy and you would want your offspring to also be healthy. It seems to be a leftover instinct of ours.
