I get what you are saying. Is not what I’m experiencing though.
I literally get gag reflex like symptoms. It’s uncann, but in a more organic way.
First time I experienced this was with the Minecraft genai demo. It looks like mc, it plays like mc, but it doesn’t actually work like it. Whilst I was playing I had to look away multiple times. I think that my brain is expecting something else and just straight up errors out of there when it doesn’t actually follow the core principles. Ai videos tend to have this more often as well
I think the thing is that your brain understands that this is something artificial, just like people feel sick at the sight of blood or a corpse or just something dead or wrong even if it looks normal or beautiful, but as soon as you understand that it is inanimate or artificial, the brain turns on a defense mechanism, I suppose, so to speak, the brain is trying to distinguish the living from the dead, I suppose. I think it's called the uncanny valley effect.
