The Uncanny Valley Is Not a Glitch. It’s a Warning.

Описание: What if the Uncanny Valley isn't just a glitch in our brains, but an evolutionary warning? In this episode of Hist Unscripted, we explore the dark psychology behind why human-like figures trigger our deepest instincts of fear.
The Uncanny Valley effect, first coined by Masahiro Mori, suggests that as robots and animations become more human-like, our emotional response shifts from empathy to revulsion. But why? Evolutionary psychology suggests this "creepiness" is a survival mechanism—a primal alert system designed to protect us from something that looked human but wasn't.
From ancient history to modern AI, we dive deep into the existential horror of what our ancestors might have encountered to instill this universal fear in our DNA.
In this video, we cover:
The Science: Understanding the Uncanny Valley graph and Masahiro Mori's theory.
The History: How human evolution shaped our fear of the "almost human."
The Horror: Why mannequins, dolls, and humanoid robots trigger psychological horror.
The Theory: Is the Uncanny Valley evidence of a past predator or an ancient threat?
