| | I just ran across the Uncanny Valley hypothesis which I found interesting. The link is to a Wikipedia article that discusses it in greater detail. Excerpting from that article:
"The uncanny valley is a hypothesis that when robots and other facsimiles of humans look and act almost,
but not entirely, like actual humans, it causes a response of revulsion among human observers."
While not a specifically philosophic topic, I though it was a psychological observation that others might find interesting. When I think about my own internal responses to near-human facsimile, I can identify a very mild form of the response discussed in this article.
