You have to imagine some strong AI in 2030, video chatting with people using fake human avatars, and people can sometimes tell because there's weird fleshly artifacts moving in the background.

That's no weird fleshy artifact moving in the background, that's my wife!

Or some Lovecraftian eldritch abomination trying to pass as human but not quite getting it...

The uncanny valley
Re:This person does not exist by besse on Friday February 07, 2020 @08:27AM (#22265706)
I feel like this is "the 2nd uncanny valley", on the other side of realism. It's more uncanny because the face is so realistic, indistinguishable from a real person. But the weird mistakes around the face reminds us that this is made by something entirely alien, with an alien understanding of what it means to be human. It's like The Thing.
