It’s funny how recognizing AI art nowadays is just the same old rules as recognizing the fae in old tales.

“Count the fingers, count the knuckles, count the teeth, check the shadows…”

… and under NO circumstances should you make deals with their kind.

@erkhyan this makes really clear the relationship between recognizing one of The Good People and the uncanny valley; never thought about it before but it makes a lot of sense.
And it brings back the question of why we evolved with this instinctive response for recognizing something not quite human.

@UnrealRonen @erkhyan Human descent is a braided tangle of various hominin clades.

If we hadn't had the uncanny valley "like us?" filter from a long way back, we wouldn't have that evolutionary history. Speciation events would have been much sharper.
