22 Future Now Show - Euclid's Dark Matter Search, Update on the infamous Uncanny Valley and a new tune dedicated to it

Listen Now to 22 Future Now Show Uncanny Valley

The uncanny valley is a term often used to describe the relationship between the human-like appearance of a robotic character and the emotional response it evokes. In this phenomenon, people feel a sense of unease or even revulsion in response to humanoid robots that are realistic, but somehow not quite ‘right.’  We take a deep dive into the topic with Greg Panos, and Richard Cray, known for their explorations in utilizing AI apps for creative purposes. Our crowning achievement for this show is the creation of a catchy song about the valley, lyrics created by us, ChatGPT and Perplexity.ai. We discuss our creative production process, with Richard taking the lead as the singer of “Uncanny Valley.”  Enjoy!
