AI "art" and uncanny valley
Guy’s Hospital in London features an art installation by Tim Hunkin.
It’s uh…creepy.

The more I think about Apple's #WWDC keynote, the more I think that Craig Federighi's part was totally AI generated. Prove me wrong
Schweizerdeutscher Spam ist viel einfacher geworden, seit wir Chatbots wie #ChatGPT haben. Diesen kann man nämlich – im Gegensatz zu den meisten traditionellen Übersetzungsprogrammen – sagen, sie sollen einen Text auf Schweizerdeutsch übersetzen. Und dabei kommt das heraus, was wir gesehen haben. Eine Imitiation, die zumindest auf den ersten Blick passt.
Dann aber in das #UncannyValley fällt, also gerade nicht echt genug ist, dass es stört.

The way out of the uncanny valley is not paved by AI.

A brand new episode of Redefining #Society & #Technology Podcast, on ITSPmagazine
Living Forever (Sort Of): AI Clones, Digital Ghosts, and the Problem with Perfection
Bruce Y. Lee and I met once again in our favorite make-believe bar to explore what might be one of the most unsettling — and fascinating — questions of our time: What happens when your AI clone outlives you?
In this episode, Bruce Y. Lee and I explore digital immortality, algorithmic relationships, and what makes a person… well, a person. Star Trek, deepfakes, AI therapists, and dead celebrities all make an appearance. Is it still you if your clone outlives you?
Let’s discuss!
– Star Trek ethics and uncanny valleys
– ChatGPT friendships that feel a little too real
– What it means to build a digital legacy you never signed off on
– And whether a recreated version of “you” is still… you
From #holograms to memory simulations, #socialengineering to emotional #algorithms, we’re not here to decide what’s right or wrong — just to ask: where does reality end, and where does the replica begin?

Can anyone explain WHY this looks AI generated? I see a decent amount of real capybaras in my feed, just here on Mastodon alone, and this just does NOT look real for some reason.
@cwebber
It just clicked for me, Christine, that Ai-generated media is today's equivalent of Nazi art, Soviet statues, North Korean banners, and Communist Chinese billboards from the '60s and '70s.
They're all in service of brutal power, not the uplift that Art can be.

Recently flew #KoreanAirlines and saw this safety video several times. It lives firmly in the #UncannyValley. Faces and bodies are #genAI, but hands are real.

300k years of #HomoSapiens and not a single civilization?
How about this piece of #alternativeHistory #microfition
The phenomenon of #UncannyValley is our ancestor's defense against #AI, that destroyed our first, long forgotten civilization, back during the #Toba catastrophe populational bottleneck, when humanity got reduced down to 1000 ppl. We had a great digital civilization based on plant-derived conductive polymers instead of silicon. The Thousand who survived the Raise of the Machines have won only because they all shared an instinct to recognize the #AISlop at first glance just like we can easily recognize a snake on the ground. The reaction of disgust is why they won after a long and bloody war. Their heritage is in our veins now. It's our turn.
I attended a lecture on the uncanny today which discussed creepy dolls. Check out these creepy dolls. I squawked aloud at a couple of them. https://youtu.be/6RxqNv6bEug?si=yJoMV4JFAASazcTs #uncanny #UncannyValley #CreepyDolls #dolls
We're blessed to have such talented folks joining us for Writing the Occult: The Uncanny - especially when they are as multi-hypehanted as Zebib K. Abraham! Not only a great writer and storyteller, she's also a psychiatrist, and she'll be telling us about what happens in our brains when we see something uncanny. Cannot wait!

AI Image Generated 'Christmas Cards' can go Die In A Fire.
badakit ez dagoela batere ondo jendearen itxura fisikoaz gaizki esaka aritzea, baina ezin dut ebitatu: Joseba Díez AAntxustegi AA bidez eginda dagoela iruditzen zait beti.
PS: Bere diskurtsoak ere bai.
Event curator WLTM writers, folklorists, academics with a professional interest in THE UNCANNY for potential virtual event appearance on 18 January.
Would esp. love to hear from someone with a psychiatry background who could speak to the neurological aspects of the uncanny.
Suggestions, please!
Just watched the official trailer of the Disney Snow White 'Live Action' film and.. don't think my eyes will ever recover.
UNCANNLY VALLEY !
INEXPLICABLE CINEMATOGRAPHY !
BIZARRE COLOUR GRADING !
WTF?
[Also unless it's part of the plot they didn't bother to use vfx to cover up / remove Gadot's pregnancy bump which again WTF?]
