When her fembot face is revealed, I see without a doubt that she is less than a person. She is an object that should be owned, programmed, used and enjoyed. BINGO, Victory!
There's nothing uncanny about a fembot face. It's incongrous. Uncannyness could arise from comparing that face to her fluid, graceful movements, or to her melodic, human voice talking about being a human.
There's something there, but I don't think we've got precise terminology.
A face full of transistors does not look almost like a natural woman. The disturbed observers are annoyed at not being able to cleanly put the [uncanny valley case] into the human OR the machine category, but not both. I like the unintended seductive tease of escalating software glitches, but with a face-off we are talking about frank proof of the fembot.Wikipedia wrote:The uncanny valley is a hypothesis in the field of aesthetics which holds that when features look and move almost, but not exactly, like natural beings, it causes a response of revulsion among some observers.
