>“uncanny valley” isms

What exactly does that mean? I bet most people would fail to tell things apart on a blind test comparing kitchen designs generated by humans vs. ai (not counting the "transitory" images with blurred corners etc.). Same thing with concept art.

Did you watch the video??

Yep. I forgot to add that on this imaginary blind test, the ai images would have to be hand selected to avoid these "transitory" frames where things get blurred and joined.

Seriously???

I'm not talking about "transitory" frames. I'm talking about things like the bottom of the top kitchen cabinets frequently being missing, top beams being at different levels in an impossible "MC Escher"-like configuration.

I definitely could see this being useful in plugging in different "styles" to decide what you like, and then taking that to a designer or architect to build out a real design, but anyone paying attention should easily be able to identify the generated images.

Now you gave some characteristics to pay attention to, and that's fine, but it's not exactly an "uncanny valley", is it? At least that does not elicit the same effect on me as when I see a CGI of eyes in a super-realistic 3D render of a person. I could totally see myself missing these details and misjudging images like these as human-generated. Maybe I'm just not an attentive person.

So you are basically proving OPs point. If a human has to hand curate computer generated images then the computer isn’t taking the place of a designer/general contractor/architect anytime soon.

[subw00f]

I never said AI-generated images would take the place of human professionals soon. I asked what exactly "uncanny valley" isms mean.

Uncanny Valley is a term to describe things that look mostly correct, but are "off" in a way that triggers an alarm in most human brains.
