Could Japanese puppet theatre inspire relatable robots? Drawing on Chikamatsu’s conceptual realism, this paper explores Mori’s uncanny valley, suggesting narrative and stylized expression enhance artificial agents’ emotional resonance.

AI-generated food that's almost real is creeping people out. 🍽️🤖 A new study shows the uncanny valley hits your plate—blame food neophobia, not disgust. Why does near-real food trigger discomfort? Find out: https://t.co/6q5DQM5xmz

近松門左衛門はリアリズムを四分類し、概念的リアリズムが共感を生むとした。��政弘もロボットの親しみやすさを四分類し、ヒューマノイドが最適とした。不気味の谷を避ける擬人化の原則が、両者の考察から導かれる。

In #Japan, #robotics projects like Geminoid exhibit a fascination with creating human doubles. The ‘uncanny valley’ has guided robot engineers on the limits of human likeness, yielding design principles to mitigate the risk of creepy robots https://t.co/FvIZkJNNt0 @androidscience

また「不気味の谷」現象を「逆手にとった」Karl F. MacDorman & Hiroshi Ishiguroの論文（2006年）も初めて読みました。つまり石黒アンドロイドはわざと不気味に作ってあるということ。/ The Uncanny Advantage of Using Androids in Cognitive and Social Science Research. https://t.co/lrCJfe62De

What troubled me in my students’ essays was not the plagiarism, writes professor Michael Serazio. No, what troubled me was the feeling that we’re arriving at what AI scholar Karl MacDorman calls the “uncanny valley of the mind.” #GlobeIdeas https://t.co/pL39ELvxWx

The ‘uncanny valley’ has guided robot engineers on the limits of human likeness, yielding design principles to mitigate the risk of creepy robots. Yet unease with advancements in AI has exposed a new ‘uncanny valley of mind’.

Study explores why human-inspired machines can be perceived as eerie
"I don't think that attributing mind to a machine that looks human is creepy. Instead, perceiving a mind in a machine that already looks creepy makes it creepier."
