WWDC 2023 Livestream

Does anyone else find the presentation triggering uncanny valley vibes? Everything is so polished and perfect that it no longer feels like it's being presented by humans. It just comes off as incredibly inauthentic and utterly devoid of human connection. There's an avatar of a human presenting, but no humanity is present.

Say what you will about the cheesey Zuck and Boz meta presentations/demos, they at least seem like real people even if a bit dorky.

These constant gentle grin + precise hand gestures + identical infomercial vocal tone thing is weird AF.

Thanks it not just me, faces look blurry, expecially from a distance, like deep fake.

I'm waiting for the reveal that everything is virtual and processed with NPU on M2

Same feeling here. They're precisely hitting every mark, every line and every smile. It's like they're trying too hard. It's so air-tight that they come off as dorks.

But it makes complete sense, these things have always been like this.

not to mention the demonstrations--these do not feel like real people

It's infomercial style. I feel like I'm stuck in an airport next to a looping video about how a frequent flyer plan might be the right choice for me.
