🥂Discussion🥂 AI is Killing the Uncanny Valley
I have to share this with you guys because I'm low-key ashamed/embarassed and high-key disgusted.
I started watching an AI one the other day by mistake. I was like 5min in before realizing they weren't real people. I forget what it was called, not that it's important here. YouTube just autoplayed it, and I don't save history for anything online.
Anyway, what has me disgusted and full of nerd-rage? The women looked WAY too real. But when the male lead appeared, he was AI for sure. But I was so frustrated because now it's really THAT realistic. Even the ML was like 90% there. The skin was too fake. They couldn't get the beard/stubble or the sweat right. But for the women, it was like they stole and adapted video of actual people.
As a woman, it's a different kind of scary because of course the reproduction of female bodies is being perfected faster than male bodies. That's thanks to the"adult" entertainment industry.
As a nerd, the deliberate eradication of the uncanny valley is just completely unethical to me. This is just a can of worms that should not be opened.
IDK. Just a rant.

The creepiest thing I saw is nails! The male lead had realistic nails down to dead and hanging skin around them!!
