We Forgot What the Warning Means - They Almost Look Human

The uncanny valley isn't an aesthetic quirk. It's a survival mechanism calibrated with terrifying precision to detect something that looked human but wasn't. Every culture developed folklore about these entities. The detection parameters match exactly. Now our ancient alarm systems are firing constantly at deepfakes and AI faces and we tell ourselves it's meaningless. But what if the warning still means something? What if we forgot how to listen?
