Springtime for Wakanda?
Don’t expect it to be fixed. To the people behind the scenes, Political Correctness is more important than facts. To the people buying their products, big tech companies are not to receive the Bud Light treatment under any circumstances, particularly and especially from those people most opposed to wokeness.
There, I fixed it. Since there is no customer demand against wokeness in technology, why would they change?
Some don’t look human. It’s like I’m in that money they live with the all time great Rudy Rodney Piper. But seriously those faces look distorted, not natural in those pictures. They may be black but they ain’t human.

On youtube there is a channel called Shortyverse.
Shortyverse has a list of popular sci-fi TV shows and movie and uses AI to show how they might look if they had been made in the 1920s. Someone or something tweaks the themes of the shows into organ music and repeat it in a loop behind the various images and short clips of motion.
Star Trek, Star Wars, Lost in Space, Battlestar Galactica, the Time Tunnel...
On first viewing of each, it’s kinda neat and fun. But by the end of each little treatment, you’re left feeling a little weird and unsettled as some things look a bit creepy or off-putting. Things in motion, especially, as the eyes, hands, and mouths of some characters don’t look quite right at times.
The music doesn’t help becase more you listen to it and watch, the more eerie and haunting it becomes.
Fortunately, they only last a few minutes. They’re over just before the uncanny valley experience starts to drive you away.
Artificial Idiocy
Hands, eyes, and mouths are challenging/problematic for AI. They make for monstrous and scary humans.
