i watched a video yesterday that i think has some insight, it was about playing minecraft on peaceful mode. He explained the difference between survival and peaceful mode , that survival runs on the horror aspect, and peaceful mode insights terror because of the anticipation of a threat, knowing your alone but yet feeling like someone is watching or following you. Seeing things out of the corner of your eye or hearing sounds that might imply someone else is nearby. all those things contribute to the feeling of terror
As a recommitted and alignment to Trinity, I've experienced supernatural events, or testimonies or answered prayer's, AI describing dimensions and frequency to reaction to optics.

That and people who are only kept alive in the most basic way (breathing via machine but brain dead) are so terrifying to me… Like… Thats a body, yes, but it isn’t a _person_ . There is no soul in there anymore. It’s like a husk of a person now. So unsettling.
@@_Kuma_ Seeing a dead body for me was like seeing a mannequin but worse. The only thing I can compare it to is the uncanny valley, and I imagine seeing someone in that state for you was like that
It makes sense why dead bodies put us on edge from an evolutionary standpoint: whatever killed that person might still be around, be it a wild animal or disease
You need to use an argument far propagates evolution and nihilism though, in-order to serve satan, so this comment will be getting removed shortly. ;))))

@@grape123 damn this is true when my neighbor died of 20 years i wen to go see him in his death bed and when he passed it was as if i couldn't feel him the same way u feel those close to you its hard to explain almost as if there is a "force " of life we can feel
If it were a video of your family reunion tho. You know the people, what they look like then suddenly they have 3 arms and turn their head, smiling at you. But not the whole body. Just the head, and hold a smile much longer than natural. You'd be singing a different tune..
Honestly, the thought of a predatory, human-like ancestor, forgotten to time but still hiding in the memories of our DNA... That's some chilling shit and frighteningly plausible. Makes you wonder what other memories are in there.
I find them genuinely unpredictable, to the point that no human could have produced them. They feel alien. They feel otherworldly. They crack me up and terrify me at the same time. Similar to how I felt when I watched Ren and Stimpy as a child, but even more so because I’m an adult now, and have a general grasp of “reality” and when I see an AI video of Gordon Ramsay unexpectedly exploding tomatoes out of his hands when he claps them together, it really makes me feel funny on the inside. Great video btw, you explored a lot of good reasons behind why it makes us feel the way we do.
The will smith spaghetti video is funny to me because it looks cartoonish, not far off from a sfm video. But luma just takes a complete dive into the uncanny valley
@@DTSephiroth this is a reference to the girl that participated in the Olympics in breaking and made a fool of herself, went viral for it, and maybe possibly even caused breaking from being taken out of the Olympincs.
As an artist, I've learned that it's very hard to draw people correctly. You can create something that reads "person" but to make it look like exactly like a particular person--that's hard. There are some very subtle things the mind looks for in looking at a human face. If the image is off in some unnatural way, the brain rejects what it's seeing. That's my theory, anyway.
If I had to guess, the uncanny valley evolves in early humans when they saw _other_ species of human. I'll bet Homo Sapiens got uncanny valley when they would see a Neanderthals or Denisovans or any other species of human. They look like us, but they're not us.
My theory is that uncanny valley is just an anxiety surrounding something that looks very familiar but at the same time exhibits entirely unfamiliar behavior. You can't predict whats gonna happen like you can with things youre very familiar with and thus triggers a fear/anxiety surrounding an unknown. Predictability is the key difference. People get the same dread with not knowing how their future is going to play out, or why spiders are so freaky to most people.
I think this is also why people are so uncomfortable around people with mental illnesses or even something like autism: If you don't know what's causing the seemingly-strange behavior, then your brain goes "WHAT THE FRICK? WHAT'S GOING ON? WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THIS?"
@@catbatrat1760and this is why we mask so much, because people can't learn to get past this extremely superficial feeling to understand the real people we are.
an example could be like a fighting game, and you know your opponent's character, their possible moves and possible patterns. that's comforting in real life situations too, for almost anything. then, out of nowhere, their character pulls out a completely new move you never seen before. now your mental schema is challenged, and from an evolutionary standpoint, could mean danger.
I agree, the way AI produces video is fundamentally similar to the way our brains produce dreams, taking in pieces of information from the previous day and cobbling them together in a way that makes it easier for our brains to store in long-term memory.
i had this dream where everything was going normally (for a dream, atleast) and when i looked at my hands and they were all jumbled up, some of my fingers combined into one another, just absolutely horrifying. it looked EXACTLY like how ai generates hands horribly.
@@cleminitionHonestly the dream aspect of this video is the most disturbing to me. It kinda feeds into the idea of AI being asleep or something, which has scary implications. Which makes the section at the end very warranted lol. Like I know logically AI isn't sentient and just is a bunch of calculations cleverly strung together. But I still seem to have this subconscious fear that AI is an actual entity, and each image/video prompt will prod the sleeping mind of this alien *thing* that humanity has created but does not at all understand. A thing that in turn cannot fully understand us because it doesn't think or feel
10:20 - The sense you're describing with Body Snatchers is probably hopelessness - the premise, that they will get you when you sleep, so you can never sleep, is simply unbeatable. The outlandish scream doesn't help. VERY effective. There's also this: early humans used a simple hunting technique - follow your prey until they are too exhausted to flee or fight. Patience. Body Snatchers were patient and tenacious. We know it our bones that this strategy always works. We used it on our prey, they use it on us. It's hopeless to think you won't lose.
I just really hate the globby playdough, slime, mold like visuals of AI videos. Seeing those motions and morphing makes me extremely uncomfortable. It’s like that fear some people have of seeing tons of tiny holes but I have it when I see anything AI that morphs things into formless volumes of clay like motions and shapes. It creeps me out, like anything it touches will turn to slime.
it has an lot of potential in horror media, putting this barely held together yet something you can recognize as an "it follows" monster can work much great.
Every time I watch an AI video I feel a strong itchy sensation between my nose and cheeks, I also feel very scared and cold. Edit: At 3:31 I legit got a jumpscare
@@badrumioli Even though i have those feelings (to the videos only) i really love happy meat farm (that uses AI pictures to show mutant and deformed animals), gotta check the channel now to see if there is new stuff
My theory on the uncanny valley effect: Humans are hardwired to detect anomalous defects in other humans for the simple fact that these defects often present a hazard. Whether it be physical ailments, diseases, mental illness - we are off put by anything abnormal in another human, it is alarming to us. Our basic instincts tell us that either someone we care about is injured or unwell in some way - or they tell us that an anomaly in a stranger is potentially threatening. The uncanny valley effect just taps into the more surreal, subconscious side of this psychological side effect.
I would like to add to your comment because I think you are right about how uncanny valley translates to us today. The way it was "evolved" into us, I think is because we are the descendants of Cro-Magnon and we existed at the same time as Neanderthals. So we existed at a time when there were two different competing humanoids who looked similar but who where different species. Uncanny Valley is simply, something that, "on its face" looks human, but upon closer inspection, clearly isn't. Bonus conspiracy! What if its an ancient relationship with Aliens visiting our planet?
You would think that would be a more blanket feeling for all humans. But alas, many humans do not seem to have that ability to distinct uncanny looks. For instance, I just came from a Mega Church Pastor Kenneth Copeland video where the dude literally looks like a demon justifying his wealth and yet, millions of people keep donating to him...
Genuinely one of the scariest videos I've watched. I feel like any other type of horror pales in comparison to the dread that AI slop gives you. It was made so much worse with the music that you added So excited to see what you'll post next
I remember when House on Haunted Hill came out and they did that filming trick where somebody would be walking and then they would stop and their head would shake really fast, that freaked me out.
i literally watched gordan ramsay on and adventrue with scary clowns in it. clowns freak me out. it was absolutely gold for psychological horror. (i won't watch the gore slasher type. but i will end up watching this type and scaring myself lol.) it was a trippy adventure and i was hooked though. imagine movies. and independent creators putting them out. we could have a revival of media. (and not just an ai takeover of creative stuff.)
Maaan I have chronic nightmares (age 27). Idk if it is in any way related, but the AI videos that are similar to kaleidoscope movement give me such a visceral fear reaction too. No faces or anything they just fill me with dread! Anyone else?
Well I don't dream about kaleidoscope movement, but I used to dream that no matter where I turn around, I'm motionless. I turn to see my hands, and even though I feel them moving, they're right in front of me, not moving at all. It's like having really bad connection during an online game. I'm 31. Sorry if this didn't make much sense, English is not my native language.
@user-is7xs1mr9y I don't dream about the kaleidoscope movement either but it gives me similar feelings of fear as my nightmares is a better way to put it I think! I get that 'game lag' feeling when I'm trying to run in nightmares and it feels like I'm moving at the pace of a snail!
@@user-is7xs1mr9y Ik exactly what you mean, like someone will be trying to kill you or something and your legs just arent moving even tho youre trying to run or making you move really slow almost like all your muscle was drained to the point where you can barely walk. Thats how i usually feel when it happens to me.
To my knowledge most hominids went extinct as soon as humans started to spread, so I think the uncanny valley is a remnant of the "wipe out our competitor" instinct. As for the videos, the way reality and physics function is one of the first things any animal learns. We can throw things of all sizes and weights accurately, a cat can use its momentum to make precise jumps, stuff like that. Seeing footage that challenges that, even if obviously not real, is kind of eerie.
Your knowledge is not accurate. Today we assume that hominids interbred and lived in coexistance way more than combatting each other for no reason. A "wipe out competitor" instinct never existed, because there was no competition. That is why your ancestors DNA is mixed with lots of other humanoid DNA and not only modern homo sapiens.
I think the caveman predator uncanny valley theory is valid but you're overcomplicating it. Rather than some supernatural ape trying to mimic humans, my guess is that it's a self-defense mechanism against other "smart apes" within the homo genus that looked similar to humans but were a different species, trying to compete for survival. Maybe our ability to recognize this helped Homo Sapiens outcompete other species like Neanderthal to extinction
@ 21:05 a large part of why A.I. video is creepier than A.I. stills is because a still image gives us enough time to understand what we are looking at, while A.I. video is constantly changing, never leaving us enough time to understand what we are seeing, essentially bombarding us with a stream of images we don't get enough time to understand. If not understood it is unknown, and we fear the unknown because it represents potential threat.
Uncanny Valley is most likely a mechanism humans developed as we started living in social groups. It's there to detect when someone is acting strange or looking strange and most likely used to weed out those that could be a threat to everyone. I absolutely think that other animals that live in groups have this same developed ability since they can turn on one in the group that behaves abnormally or even gets sick or injured. It can be brutal to think that animals will chase away a sick member of the group but the survival of the rest could depend on it. I'm pretty sure this same set of evolutionary traits are why people can get bullied for not being like everyone else.
I watch a lot of content similar to yours, but I don't know what it is about your videos; your voice, your script, maybe the way you explain things without a hint of bait, or the fact I can sense you're as excited to tell me a story as much as I am to hear it... but your videos feel really cozy to me :) I thought this was the perfect video to tell you that. I listened to "A History Of Hauntings" in a dark early morning walk with my dog, and I still remember that walk as one of my favorites. Keep up the good work, Farrel!
Man, that ending scene of Invasion of the Body Snatchers always sends chills down my spine. I had a dream once where my 3yr old son was trying to come into my home. Only, that, within the dream, I KNEW it wasn't him. I don't know how or why, but I KNEW it was not my son. I woke up, drenched in sweat, heart pounding, crying, even. That was my worst nightmare. Imagine you talk to your child and within seconds, you know it's not them. Dread within moments.
just wanna say i discovered your channel back in july and it’s quickly become one of my favorite channels. love all the topics you’ve covered so far and can’t wait to see what you post in the future. keep up the great work!
AI Generated videos feel extremely trippy. Like I have taken hundreds of doses of Psychedelic Drugs, I seen all types of hallucinations your brain can make up, and AI just hits that perfectly, nobody can put a psychedelic experience into words, but boi even a poorly trained AI can perfectly recreate on how you feel in those states
Yes, this is what I was just thinking. It's very similar to a high dose mushroom trip where you cannot explain what you experienced, but AI seems to bring it to life. To me, it is very specific to the effects of Psilocybin.
Yeah, back when I was younger and whenever I would trip, I would always get a fear that people around were fake. Crazy I know, but the "aggressive mimicry" is a good way to explain it
Psilocybin and LSD don't give me an effect that's similar to AI imagery, but ketamine sure does. In fact, regular videos have me wondering if they're AI-generated on higher ket doses.
I came here to say this. I've done mushrooms for 19 years and this is exactly how my trips are. One of my favorites is staring at a photo for a few seconds, then close my eyes and let the mind alter the photo. One time my mind tore it apart, slowly piece by piece, then the pieces formed a new photo.
@@docgaza2656 Ha ha.. this is exactly what I was about to say. Creepy faces not even necessary. The moment you lock eyes with yourself you question your entire existence. Who is that? Who am I? What am I? If I'm him, how can I be me? I'm not me. I am the awareness that perceives me. Knock knock.. "You OK in there?" "Who? Us?, I mean, he's fine" lol
The images became boring in the same way selfies are boring. You can get genuine beauty out of a camera, if you're a good enough photographer to know what the machine needs to create at its highest level. Exactly the same with AI. Working with it has really helped me pay more attention to eras, illustration styles, art mediums, how to prioritize the elements of an image, color, and _lighting!_ Holy cats, your images look so much better if you tell the AI what time of day they take place!
11:36 the theory to answer this that I am very confident in, is that it exists so that we can identify corpses without having to come in contact with them.
I was listening to a short story that i dont even know what tf they were nattering on about, then i saw this and his monsterface and thought, This Looks Intetesting🎉 It is.
i think it always reduces to the thing they taught me at software engineering: it is easier to fake a feature than actually developing it, for example, when you code an algorithm that is supposed to trace light rays, it is much easier to generate a line that bounces of the edges in relation to the angle it hits, instead of creating a particle that travels 300,000 km/s, give it physics and tracking where it goes at every frame, for the infinite amount of frames that are required for a single second.
The idea that we had a predator that mimicked itself to look like us is absurd. There's nothing in the fossil record to indicate this. What we do have though are Neanderthals and Denisovans... but we bred with, they weren't predators... though maybe enemies at times.
Now that I have more resources to make content you’re probably not gonna see me using it in the future, unless it’s in a context like this video where I’m specifically talking about it as a topic. Disregarding ethical and environmental concerns, it just never really looks very nice lol
@@farrellmcguireAh that solves the mystery for me as I thought I’d just had the Charlie taken out of me and I was watching an Ai video talking about Ai 🤣😂😂
@farrellmcguire well that's good to know lol, especially since these tools are growing ever more popular among businesses who don't want to pay actual people to make art for them
To be honest, i've been terrified by the uncanny valley before, but literally all of these ai videos make me laugh hard. They aren't creepy, they're just absurdly weird which is funny to me.
That first image kinda sorta suggests what a migraine can do to your visual nerves. Like staring at text, realizing you can't read it though it's right there in front of you, then getting all the creeping/growing blind spots.
Dude the clip to that eel person thing already put me on edge and than you did it again? Lol. There’s just something about that fear you get. I actually haven’t gotten that scared from horror movies like at all but the pure terror certain ai videos or pictures give me is unreal.
Hey, I'm so glad you pointed out that your dreams and AI videos tend to resemble each-other so much, one of the first things that cause me discomfort when it came to watching AI generated videos was the way it looked. It wasn't really because it looked human or non-human, it too closely resembled what things in my dreams looked like, and this caused me to feel confused because I wasn't sure if I should be impressed by a machine's ability to create what only the human mind could create, or if I was upset that my dreams could be created in the real world and fit the idea that my mind made. Just thought it was an interesting point of view that not a lot of people point out beyond "surreal".
Remember that point in my life where i was like 13-15, really stressed by some trivial exams (Used to struggle cuz dumb) and i'll go to bed with the mindset of "I should have studied more, i shouldn't sleep" but on that state where you are half dreaming/awake i'd see like pages of a book, and when i focus on the words they did not make any sense, as if they were just random letters that looked like words at a first glance, i kidd you not, it was exactly like some ai generated text
I was once sleep deprived on a combination of drugs, and when I went to sleep my mind was projecting fast AI generated images onto the black background of my closed eyes. Like rapidly generating, morphing AI visuals but more "flashy"...one fraction of a second I saw humanoid dogs in police uniforms and the next was people dancing over a background of a mountain landscape with letters and numbers flying by. And that was in 2/10 of a second, I can't even comprehend most of what I saw. Just complete, utter, insane nonsense, like an AI morphing video rapidly flashing at 5x speed.
I find those videos of real humans moving and dancing like robots much creepier 😮 Just saw a short of a guy robo dancing to a song called Hahaha or something and it was so freaky that I almost threw up… and this comes from someone who barely survived the 2004 tsunami and experienced the aftermath first hand… Great content!!! Love and respect from Thailand 🇹🇭 ❤
They are unsettling because we are going through a transition of the technology being in its infancy, wait another 5 to 10 years and it will be completely indistinguishable from real life. That's when you need to start worrying.
The most terrifying part is that eventually we won't be able to tell if something is real or not, because then truth becomes irrelevant without several witnesses to testify its accuracy.
We've never been able to tell if something is "real" or not unless we witnessed said thing with our own two eyes, felt it with our own sense of touch, heard it with our own two ears and so on. Even BEFORE generative Ai, creating videos we have things such as Video editing and many-a-times simple hoax videos had MILLIONS of people believing it to be true. The truth has ALWAYS BEEN "irrelevant" unless we had witnesses and evidence that was more than a simple video to prove something. There's ALWAYS BEEN a need for people to testify upon the accuracy of an event, honestly people should've been more careful with the truth before this whole generative Ai thing happened instead of blindly believing everything just cause.
what is ... real? how do you define real? if you're talking about what you can feel, smell, taste, hear, see... then real is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain. how do you know that you don't live in a neural-interactive simulation?
@@papahuge This is the issue I have with people saying AI isn't intelligent or alive. I don't believe it is, personally, but argument that "oh, it's not actually thinking, it's just computing and processing input and then spitting out output. Oh, you mean like WE do? Like how EVERY moving living thing does to some degree? Machine learning and LLM computation processes are all based off of the way our brains do things--he even pointed out how people say AI videos are like dreams. Because our brains and AI computing when left to their own devices aren't that different. To say that an AI isn't thinking is to imply that there's some special quality about "thought" that humans possess that no other computing creature (or very few creatures) do, which is a very inconsistent thing to say if you believe humans evolved from apes and there is no God. If those two things are true, then the heck is supposed to be the difference between the way we conceive of, measure, and respond to reality with our five senses, and the way LLMs do it with their one?
I’m sure there are plenty of dissertations in the comments. BUT The uncanny valley is the Inner-Ear for Reality. That flinch to hold-on at imbalance. The chill at your wallet, phone, keys, Child being absent. Doubt fuels it. Faith in continuity unmasks it.
Wow! Incredible video! With quality like this, I’m surprised you don’t have more subscribers. Anyway, you just gained one more. Also, I find your ideas really interesting-I couldn’t have said it better myself.
Can't read in dreams either. The side of the brain responsible for processing that logic is "asleep" so the words and letters look familiar but can't be comprehended.
Those uncanny A.I. videos make me feel physically itchy and sweaty all at once. And they make my face scrunch up so, and give me the chills like nothing else. It is really not a good feeling... That Will Smith eating spaghetti one creeped me out, too, but not nearly as much.
Or maybe a glimpse into hell! But, it feels too much like a response to something for it to be a result of seeing something for the first time.... I wonder what we are picking up on then that we are recognizing?
The one nightmare I still remember having as a child, was of an entity that resembled the spirit of Christmas future and it was always standing right outside the bathroom.
A loud Steam train rolled down the Lane outside the house, there were no train tracks. It raced faster than all the trains I knew. Look up at the sky and there was a large crack that formed, fire came out of the crack. in the centre of that fire bright light was seen. I was 7 years old, checked with dates from when dad moved out of the house later in life. Never forgotten that dream,
I'm definitely relieved you obfuscated "parts" of the hominids at 12:00. And I concur with your hypothesis. Even now, I'm scared of these uncanny predators like the one shown at 13:39.
I literally developed a fear of AI generated videos (videos only), I’m not scared of it, i’m disturbed, terrified, and horrified, it feels like a bunch of nonsense that your brain can’t handle. First second you’re seeing one person, next one you’re seeing that person contort into a lobster, it’s too weird, it’s in the _uncanny valley._
I fucked around and found out and went in a ai generator and told it to make a mad chihuahua and it made this 5 legged monster. It wasn’t scary it just disturbed me to my core its eyes were very real all of it was in a way. Idk certain videos mostly but some photos get me to
19:56 The reason most of those photorealistic AI photos aren't as unsettling is because they're usually touched up after the fact by a human using photoshop or some other editing program
It's the uncanny valley and the way the ai shifts and morphs into unrecognizable shapes makes our brains scramble all up trying to recognize it That's how I view it anyhow It's so close to being man made but you know it's not and that's honestly kinda horrific
Following your example of IOTBS, surely John Carpenter's 'The Thing' [1982] is the ultimate uncanny valley [horror] movie..? Not only does it have a predatory lifeform imitating people in order to hunt them, these imitations give very subtle cues that they aren't quite 'normal' - in terms of human expectations of other people / people they know. Then, when you get to the whole mutation attack / defense element of the movie we see [again and again] the human form being warped, perverted, altered into mind-bending unidentifiable forms that push the viewer over the precipice into pure WTF / revulsion territory. In what they achieved John Carpenter, Rob Bottin and Stan Winston were nearly 4 decades ahead of AI image generators unsettling us by seeing everything as mutated psychedelic dogs [in the early days] or giving humans 9 fingers and other malformed anatomy. Extrapolating much further back... I wonder what Hieronymus Bosch would make of AI's tendency toward mutation and malformation?
I remember reading about car design in the 40s and 50s. Three headlights or one large one in the center (like a cyclops) were too odd or unlike humans. Thus , we have two headlights …
two headlights is the cheapest way of having roughly the full width of the car illuminated. a single headlight would make traffic going the opposite direction expect a motorcycle.
The uncanny valley theory is actually much simpler. It has to do with the darkness. Not being able to make out an animal or fellow human/homo sapiens terrifies us. It's the fear of the unknown. It's that easy.
Is it related to xenophobia? You've grown up with 1 type of human but then see a human with different skin, hair or language. Like a 'normal' human but just a bit 'off'.
@@gstgst6334 no, it's that, when we were still homo sapiens, in the dark, we couldn't exactly make out facial features. Therefore, depending on the lighting, faces could look weird or off. Additionally, it was hard to make out the exact size and shape of an animal that could've approached. Therefore, our brain was still in the assessment phase, something we now call uncanny valley, which is different from actual terror.
@@Yubi_Yubi I studied several theories on why the uncanny valley exists and there really isn't a general consensus. Your theory is a valid one, but I've also seen it interpreted as a method of creating aversion towards corpses, in order to prevent necrophagia or necrophilia. I've also seen interpretations of it where it was posited to be a way to identify a stranger with ill intentions, since the body language and facial expressions of a potential pedator is very similar to what we may find on the uncanny valley, especially if that predator is a member of our own species.
oh it's that easy?! that's great, buddy! now i guess that means we should never ever discuss it further because you got it! you completely solved it just because you googled the uncanny valley once when you were 13. everybody go home.
@hosaepalvin9795 I'm just tired of this story being pushed that "ih there must have been something almost human but not quite" because that's absolute bs.
YES! Finally, someone gets the a.i./dream comparison. This is what I've thought since first seeing a.i., videos. I think that's why they are so unsettling.
AI should never be used as a replacement for real artists. That said, I think it could be used to make some really awesome horror media that humans may not be able to easily replicate due to its complete randomness.
Good Lord!!!! First time I seen some of these kinds of videos were on insta around Halloween. They started popping up out of the blue for some reason. Just like for the tiktok video at around 3:30, these give me an urge to break the screen into pieces and flee through the window. I basically scrolled down after 3:30 and just went full podcast mode... great vid though. probably.
so, here comes the idea of "Terminator: Ape wars", where Skynet sends the ultimate killing machine to the prairies or jungle (where human ancestor lived, i'm not sure), disguised as big gorilla. Gorillanator fail, but now we have this fear imprinted in our genes
No. It's not The Uncanny Valley. Even the spaghetti videos were horrifying because of all the warping. It's the same reason The Thing is horrifying. It's this blob with parts that somewhat resemble what we know, but those parts are being contorted and tortured before our eyes.
0:45 This is, why I always say: AI is dreaming. It reminds me of dreams. Thats it. It looks like screenshots of real dreams. 15:26 The moment you mentioned that, was a WOW effect for me. I did not know, that so many people think the same about the "dreaming AI".
Image at the start kinda looks like how a salvia trip feels. You can see everything yet nothing really makes sense. All objects lose their sense of meaning and you no longer able to percieve depth.
For me, at the beginning of a salvia trip, it always made me feel like some cruel joke was being played on me where I would be stuck or "tricked" into that bizarre state and it would never end. I would never reach back into reality. They used to call it the business man's acid trip because it was so brief.
for me a salvia trip was the most intense, took me to another dimension or plane of existence that's hard to describe other than to say everything felt like trapezoid shingles
i think i'm extra sensitive to this feeling because even just ai generated images make me feel absolutely creeped out and full of dread regardless to say i was only able to listen to this video and not watch it lmao
Same many times I had to turn my phone around because uncanny or creepy images scare the shit out of me. Like if someone's head is deformed. I remember I was scrolling and a video was listing different phobias with a picture associated with it. Idk what the phobia was but it was a guy with a lot of chins or something and I swear I had almost a panic attack ao whatever that phobia is I definitely have it
I've been experiencing this feeling for a while too! I couldn't find anyone else that felt the same way until now though, to me when i look at the videos i feel like im looking at a bunch of spiders, like a i have a phobia of ai generated videos or something lol

I 100% think the uncanny valley comes from the unsettling feeling of seeing a dead body. Having seen one, it’s the same feeling but more intense.
That and people who are only kept alive in the most basic way (breathing via machine but brain dead) are so terrifying to me… Like… Thats a body, yes, but it isn’t a _person_ . There is no soul in there anymore. It’s like a husk of a person now. So unsettling.
@@_Kuma_ Seeing a dead body for me was like seeing a mannequin but worse. The only thing I can compare it to is the uncanny valley, and I imagine seeing someone in that state for you was like that
It makes sense why dead bodies put us on edge from an evolutionary standpoint: whatever killed that person might still be around, be it a wild animal or disease
You need to use an argument far propagates evolution and nihilism though, in-order to serve satan, so this comment will be getting removed shortly. ;))))

Maybe I'm broken but the uncanny valley videos usually crack me the hell up. I was dying laughing at Gordon Ramsay puking videos.
the gordon ramsay ones are just hella funny
Same, all AI videos that look off just make me giggle in its all absurdity
SAME
I'm not even sure that these videos are AI generated, because it fits character so well
If it were a video of your family reunion tho. You know the people, what they look like then suddenly they have 3 arms and turn their head, smiling at you. But not the whole body. Just the head, and hold a smile much longer than natural. You'd be singing a different tune..
Honestly, the thought of a predatory, human-like ancestor, forgotten to time but still hiding in the memories of our DNA...
That's some chilling shit and frighteningly plausible. Makes you wonder what other memories are in there.
I find them genuinely unpredictable, to the point that no human could have produced them. They feel alien. They feel otherworldly. They crack me up and terrify me at the same time. Similar to how I felt when I watched Ren and Stimpy as a child, but even more so because I’m an adult now, and have a general grasp of “reality” and when I see an AI video of Gordon Ramsay unexpectedly exploding tomatoes out of his hands when he claps them together, it really makes me feel funny on the inside. Great video btw, you explored a lot of good reasons behind why it makes us feel the way we do.
It's extremely rare that something looks so gross that I literally feel sick but some of these did it for me

As an artist, I've learned that it's very hard to draw people correctly. You can create something that reads "person" but to make it look like exactly like a particular person--that's hard. There are some very subtle things the mind looks for in looking at a human face. If the image is off in some unnatural way, the brain rejects what it's seeing. That's my theory, anyway.
If I had to guess, the uncanny valley evolves in early humans when they saw _other_ species of human.
I'll bet Homo Sapiens got uncanny valley when they would see a Neanderthals or Denisovans or any other species of human. They look like us, but they're not us.
My theory is that uncanny valley is just an anxiety surrounding something that looks very familiar but at the same time exhibits entirely unfamiliar behavior. You can't predict whats gonna happen like you can with things youre very familiar with and thus triggers a fear/anxiety surrounding an unknown. Predictability is the key difference.
People get the same dread with not knowing how their future is going to play out, or why spiders are so freaky to most people.
I think this is also why people are so uncomfortable around people with mental illnesses or even something like autism: If you don't know what's causing the seemingly-strange behavior, then your brain goes "WHAT THE FRICK? WHAT'S GOING ON? WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THIS?"
@@catbatrat1760and this is why we mask so much, because people can't learn to get past this extremely superficial feeling to understand the real people we are.
Thats not a theory. Thats literally just the definition of uncanny valley
@-felt I was wondering if someone was going to tell them. Lol
an example could be like a fighting game, and you know your opponent's character, their possible moves and possible patterns. that's comforting in real life situations too, for almost anything. then, out of nowhere, their character pulls out a completely new move you never seen before. now your mental schema is challenged, and from an evolutionary standpoint, could mean danger.
I agree, the way AI produces video is fundamentally similar to the way our brains produce dreams, taking in pieces of information from the previous day and cobbling them together in a way that makes it easier for our brains to store in long-term memory.
Its 4D observed by your 3D brain. We are getting used by the future
Yup, I've been saying the same thing.
i had this dream where everything was going normally (for a dream, atleast) and when i looked at my hands and they were all jumbled up, some of my fingers combined into one another, just absolutely horrifying. it looked EXACTLY like how ai generates hands horribly.
You have been looking at too many AI generated images 😮
I don't have this experience at all.
@@Lasvegasnowman1 that was before ai generated images were a big thing
@@cleminitionHonestly the dream aspect of this video is the most disturbing to me. It kinda feeds into the idea of AI being asleep or something, which has scary implications. Which makes the section at the end very warranted lol. Like I know logically AI isn't sentient and just is a bunch of calculations cleverly strung together. But I still seem to have this subconscious fear that AI is an actual entity, and each image/video prompt will prod the sleeping mind of this alien *thing* that humanity has created but does not at all understand. A thing that in turn cannot fully understand us because it doesn't think or feel

10:20 - The sense you're describing with Body Snatchers is probably hopelessness - the premise, that they will get you when you sleep, so you can never sleep, is simply unbeatable. The outlandish scream doesn't help. VERY effective. There's also this: early humans used a simple hunting technique - follow your prey until they are too exhausted to flee or fight. Patience. Body Snatchers were patient and tenacious. We know it our bones that this strategy always works. We used it on our prey, they use it on us. It's hopeless to think you won't lose.
Yes, there was a predator that used mimicry in the distant past, and now. It was : other humans.
I just really hate the globby playdough, slime, mold like visuals of AI videos. Seeing those motions and morphing makes me extremely uncomfortable. It’s like that fear some people have of seeing tons of tiny holes but I have it when I see anything AI that morphs things into formless volumes of clay like motions and shapes. It creeps me out, like anything it touches will turn to slime.
It's similar to gore I think.
it has an lot of potential in horror media, putting this barely held together yet something you can recognize as an "it follows" monster can work much great.
Couldn't have said it any better.
Every time I watch an AI video I feel a strong itchy sensation between my nose and cheeks, I also feel very scared and cold.
Edit: At 3:31 I legit got a jumpscare
@@badrumioli Even though i have those feelings (to the videos only) i really love happy meat farm (that uses AI pictures to show mutant and deformed animals), gotta check the channel now to see if there is new stuff
My theory on the uncanny valley effect: Humans are hardwired to detect anomalous defects in other humans for the simple fact that these defects often present a hazard. Whether it be physical ailments, diseases, mental illness - we are off put by anything abnormal in another human, it is alarming to us. Our basic instincts tell us that either someone we care about is injured or unwell in some way - or they tell us that an anomaly in a stranger is potentially threatening. The uncanny valley effect just taps into the more surreal, subconscious side of this psychological side effect.
I would like to add to your comment because I think you are right about how uncanny valley translates to us today. The way it was "evolved" into us, I think is because we are the descendants of Cro-Magnon and we existed at the same time as Neanderthals. So we existed at a time when there were two different competing humanoids who looked similar but who where different species. Uncanny Valley is simply, something that, "on its face" looks human, but upon closer inspection, clearly isn't. Bonus conspiracy! What if its an ancient relationship with Aliens visiting our planet?
@@itsyaboymuffinman Agressive mimicry : donald trump. He looks like a duck decoy with orange hair like an orangutan but somehow creepily human.

I get the same feeling looking at Ts.
You would think that would be a more blanket feeling for all humans. But alas, many humans do not seem to have that ability to distinct uncanny looks. For instance, I just came from a Mega Church Pastor Kenneth Copeland video where the dude literally looks like a demon justifying his wealth and yet, millions of people keep donating to him...
Genuinely one of the scariest videos I've watched. I feel like any other type of horror pales in comparison to the dread that AI slop gives you. It was made so much worse with the music that you added

Hey it’s me moistcritikal and-AaAAaAaAaGuUghH
Kiss ass much?
This could revive the boring and predictable horror genre. I look forward to new monsters, aliens and supernatural events, shown like never before.
I remember when House on Haunted Hill came out and they did that filming trick where somebody would be walking and then they would stop and their head would shake really fast, that freaked me out.
i literally watched gordan ramsay on and adventrue with scary clowns in it. clowns freak me out. it was absolutely gold for psychological horror. (i won't watch the gore slasher type. but i will end up watching this type and scaring myself lol.) it was a trippy adventure and i was hooked though. imagine movies. and independent creators putting them out. we could have a revival of media. (and not just an ai takeover of creative stuff.)
Harmony Korine's Baby Invasion is worth watching, if you wanna see what creative AI use looks like in movies.
Honestly the Ai Minecraft is the most terrifying example of this in my opinion. It’s so creepy
Maaan I have chronic nightmares (age 27). Idk if it is in any way related, but the AI videos that are similar to kaleidoscope movement give me such a visceral fear reaction too. No faces or anything they just fill me with dread! Anyone else?
Well I don't dream about kaleidoscope movement, but I used to dream that no matter where I turn around, I'm motionless. I turn to see my hands, and even though I feel them moving, they're right in front of me, not moving at all. It's like having really bad connection during an online game. I'm 31. Sorry if this didn't make much sense, English is not my native language.
@user-is7xs1mr9y I don't dream about the kaleidoscope movement either but it gives me similar feelings of fear as my nightmares is a better way to put it I think! I get that 'game lag' feeling when I'm trying to run in nightmares and it feels like I'm moving at the pace of a snail!
yes, it does move the way images do in dreams.
@@user-is7xs1mr9y Ik exactly what you mean, like someone will be trying to kill you or something and your legs just arent moving even tho youre trying to run or making you move really slow almost like all your muscle was drained to the point where you can barely walk. Thats how i usually feel when it happens to me.
@@BradD1997 Best description ever
To my knowledge most hominids went extinct as soon as humans started to spread, so I think the uncanny valley is a remnant of the "wipe out our competitor" instinct. As for the videos, the way reality and physics function is one of the first things any animal learns. We can throw things of all sizes and weights accurately, a cat can use its momentum to make precise jumps, stuff like that. Seeing footage that challenges that, even if obviously not real, is kind of eerie.
Are you sure they are extinct? Or just prowling in the background.
Or because it’s the first time in our whole existence anything has ever seen anything like it. On earth anyway lol
Your knowledge is not accurate. Today we assume that hominids interbred and lived in coexistance way more than combatting each other for no reason. A "wipe out competitor" instinct never existed, because there was no competition. That is why your ancestors DNA is mixed with lots of other humanoid DNA and not only modern homo sapiens.
I think the caveman predator uncanny valley theory is valid but you're overcomplicating it. Rather than some supernatural ape trying to mimic humans, my guess is that it's a self-defense mechanism against other "smart apes" within the homo genus that looked similar to humans but were a different species, trying to compete for survival. Maybe our ability to recognize this helped Homo Sapiens outcompete other species like Neanderthal to extinction
i agree with you, but i have to wonder why the instinctual emotion is fear rather than aggression.
@foogriffy if you make a run for it you have a better chace to survive than fighting head-on, specially if you're by yourself
This all assumes that the Evolutionary model is even true to begin with.
@@lightbeforethetunnel it is.
I completely agree, that is much more plausible
@ 21:05 a large part of why A.I. video is creepier than A.I. stills is because a still image gives us enough time to understand what we are looking at, while A.I. video is constantly changing, never leaving us enough time to understand what we are seeing, essentially bombarding us with a stream of images we don't get enough time to understand. If not understood it is unknown, and we fear the unknown because it represents potential threat.
Uncanny Valley is most likely a mechanism humans developed as we started living in social groups. It's there to detect when someone is acting strange or looking strange and most likely used to weed out those that could be a threat to everyone. I absolutely think that other animals that live in groups have this same developed ability since they can turn on one in the group that behaves abnormally or even gets sick or injured. It can be brutal to think that animals will chase away a sick member of the group but the survival of the rest could depend on it. I'm pretty sure this same set of evolutionary traits are why people can get bullied for not being like everyone else.
Yes. Schoolyards and Playgrounds are feral jungles.
I watch a lot of content similar to yours, but I don't know what it is about your videos; your voice, your script, maybe the way you explain things without a hint of bait, or the fact I can sense you're as excited to tell me a story as much as I am to hear it... but your videos feel really cozy to me :) I thought this was the perfect video to tell you that. I listened to "A History Of Hauntings" in a dark early morning walk with my dog, and I still remember that walk as one of my favorites. Keep up the good work, Farrel!
Man, that ending scene of Invasion of the Body Snatchers always sends chills down my spine.

AI Generated videos feel extremely trippy. Like I have taken hundreds of doses of Psychedelic Drugs, I seen all types of hallucinations your brain can make up, and AI just hits that perfectly, nobody can put a psychedelic experience into words, but boi even a poorly trained AI can perfectly recreate on how you feel in those states
Yes, this is what I was just thinking. It's very similar to a high dose mushroom trip where you cannot explain what you experienced, but AI seems to bring it to life. To me, it is very specific to the effects of Psilocybin.
Yeah, back when I was younger and whenever I would trip, I would always get a fear that people around were fake. Crazy I know, but the "aggressive mimicry" is a good way to explain it
Psilocybin and LSD don't give me an effect that's similar to AI imagery, but ketamine sure does. In fact, regular videos have me wondering if they're AI-generated on higher ket doses.
Wrong
I came here to say this. I've done mushrooms for 19 years and this is exactly how my trips are. One of my favorites is staring at a photo for a few seconds, then close my eyes and let the mind alter the photo.

Exactly the same with AI. Working with it has really helped me pay more attention to eras, illustration styles, art mediums, how to prioritize the elements of an image, color, and _lighting!_ Holy cats, your images look so much better if you tell the AI what time of day they take place!

i think it always reduces to the thing they taught me at software engineering: it is easier to fake a feature than actually developing it, for example, when you code an algorithm that is supposed to trace light rays, it is much easier to generate a line that bounces of the edges in relation to the angle it hits, instead of creating a particle that travels 300,000 km/s, give it physics and tracking where it goes at every frame, for the infinite amount of frames that are required for a single second.

The idea that we had a predator that mimicked itself to look like us is absurd. There's nothing in the fossil record to indicate this.

Dude the clip to that eel person thing already put me on edge and than you did it again? Lol. There’s just something about that fear you get. I actually haven’t gotten that scared from horror movies like at all but the pure terror certain ai videos or pictures give me is unreal.
Hey, I'm so glad you pointed out that your dreams and AI videos tend to resemble each-other so much, one of the first things that cause me discomfort when it came to watching AI generated videos was the way it looked.
It wasn't really because it looked human or non-human, it too closely resembled what things in my dreams looked like, and this caused me to feel confused because I wasn't sure if I should be impressed by a machine's ability to create what only the human mind could create, or if I was upset that my dreams could be created in the real world and fit the idea that my mind made.
Just thought it was an interesting point of view that not a lot of people point out beyond "surreal".
I think this proves that these AI are more than we think they are.
Remember that point in my life where i was like 13-15, really stressed by some trivial exams (Used to struggle cuz dumb) and i'll go to bed with the mindset of "I should have studied more, i shouldn't sleep" but on that state where you are half dreaming/awake i'd see like pages of a book, and when i focus on the words they did not make any sense, as if they were just random letters that looked like words at a first glance, i kidd you not, it was exactly like some ai generated text
I have a pretty good imagination and you can tell me anything and I'll get a clear image of it in my head so my dreams don't rlly look like ai
Also if you gain conciousness in ur dreams (lucid dreaming) it becomes even more real than real life
I was once sleep deprived on a combination of drugs, and when I went to sleep my mind was projecting fast AI generated images onto the black background of my closed eyes. Like rapidly generating, morphing AI visuals but more "flashy"...one fraction of a second I saw humanoid dogs in police uniforms and the next was people dancing over a background of a mountain landscape with letters and numbers flying by. And that was in 2/10 of a second, I can't even comprehend most of what I saw. Just complete, utter, insane nonsense, like an AI morphing video rapidly flashing at 5x speed.

They are unsettling because we are going through a transition of the technology being in its infancy, wait another 5 to 10 years and it will be completely indistinguishable from real life. That's when you need to start worrying.
21:02 looks so wrong lmao
The most terrifying part is that eventually we won't be able to tell if something is real or not, because then truth becomes irrelevant without several witnesses to testify its accuracy.
We've never been able to tell if something is "real" or not unless we witnessed said thing with our own two eyes, felt it with our own sense of touch, heard it with our own two ears and so on. Even BEFORE generative Ai, creating videos we have things such as Video editing and many-a-times simple hoax videos had MILLIONS of people believing it to be true. The truth has ALWAYS BEEN "irrelevant" unless we had witnesses and evidence that was more than a simple video to prove something. There's ALWAYS BEEN a need for people to testify upon the accuracy of an event, honestly people should've been more careful with the truth before this whole generative Ai thing happened instead of blindly believing everything just cause.
Yup, and that point is closed than we think

Machine learning and LLM computation processes are all based off of the way our brains do things--he even pointed out how people say AI videos are like dreams. Because our brains and AI computing when left to their own devices aren't that different.
To say that an AI isn't thinking is to imply that there's some special quality about "thought" that humans possess that no other computing creature (or very few creatures) do, which is a very inconsistent thing to say if you believe humans evolved from apes and there is no God. If those two things are true, then the heck is supposed to be the difference between the way we conceive of, measure, and respond to reality with our five senses, and the way LLMs do it with their one?

This just popped up in my notifications. 2 months late but dear god, that thumbnail 😂
Imagine an AI generated virtual reality. You're basically tripping without the hallucinogen.
It's the uncanny valley and the way the ai shifts and morphs into unrecognizable shapes makes our brains scramble all up trying to recognize it
That's how I view it anyhow
It's so close to being man made but you know it's not and that's honestly kinda horrific
Oh hey I was right cool
Following your example of IOTBS, surely John Carpenter's 'The Thing' [1982] is the ultimate uncanny valley [horror] movie..? Not only does it have a predatory lifeform imitating people in order to hunt them, these imitations give very subtle cues that they aren't quite 'normal' - in terms of human expectations of other people / people they know. Then, when you get to the whole mutation attack / defense element of the movie we see [again and again] the human form being warped, perverted, altered into mind-bending unidentifiable forms that push the viewer over the precipice into pure WTF / revulsion territory. In what they achieved John Carpenter, Rob Bottin and Stan Winston were nearly 4 decades ahead of AI image generators unsettling us by seeing everything as mutated psychedelic dogs [in the early days] or giving humans 9 fingers and other malformed anatomy. Extrapolating much further back... I wonder what Hieronymus Bosch would make of AI's tendency toward mutation and malformation?
My favorite movie!!!
@@bloodyantlers27 same!
I remember reading about car design in the 40s and 50s. Three headlights or one large one in the center (like a cyclops) were too odd or unlike humans. Thus , we have two headlights …
two headlights is the cheapest way of having roughly the full width of the car illuminated.
a single headlight would make traffic going the opposite direction expect a motorcycle.
Here's my ChatGPT impersonation, "I'm sorry, but I can't assist with that request."
Really enjoyed this on a Sunday morning. It addressed a lot of the questions in quandaries I have about AI and dreaming.
The uncanny valley theory is actually much simpler. It has to do with the darkness. Not being able to make out an animal or fellow human/homo sapiens terrifies us. It's the fear of the unknown. It's that easy.
Is it related to xenophobia? You've grown up with 1 type of human but then see a human with different skin, hair or language. Like a 'normal' human but just a bit 'off'.
@@gstgst6334 no, it's that, when we were still homo sapiens, in the dark, we couldn't exactly make out facial features. Therefore, depending on the lighting, faces could look weird or off. Additionally, it was hard to make out the exact size and shape of an animal that could've approached. Therefore, our brain was still in the assessment phase, something we now call uncanny valley, which is different from actual terror.
@@Yubi_Yubi I studied several theories on why the uncanny valley exists and there really isn't a general consensus. Your theory is a valid one, but I've also seen it interpreted as a method of creating aversion towards corpses, in order to prevent necrophagia or necrophilia. I've also seen interpretations of it where it was posited to be a way to identify a stranger with ill intentions, since the body language and facial expressions of a potential pedator is very similar to what we may find on the uncanny valley, especially if that predator is a member of our own species.
oh it's that easy?! that's great, buddy! now i guess that means we should never ever discuss it further because you got it! you completely solved it just because you googled the uncanny valley once when you were 13. everybody go home.
@hosaepalvin9795 I'm just tired of this story being pushed that "ih there must have been something almost human but not quite" because that's absolute bs.
YES! Finally, someone gets the a.i./dream comparison. This is what I've thought since first seeing a.i., videos. I think that's why they are so unsettling.
AI should never be used as a replacement for real artists. That said, I think it could be used to make some really awesome horror media that humans may not be able to easily replicate due to its complete randomness.
Good Lord!!!! First time I seen some of these kinds of videos were on insta around Halloween. They started popping up out of the blue for some reason. Just like for the tiktok video at around 3:30, these give me an urge to break the screen into pieces and flee through the window. I basically scrolled down after 3:30 and just went full podcast mode... great vid though. probably.
so, here comes the idea of "Terminator: Ape wars", where Skynet sends the ultimate killing machine to the prairies or jungle (where human ancestor lived, i'm not sure), disguised as big gorilla. Gorillanator fail, but now we have this fear imprinted in our genes
No. It's not The Uncanny Valley. Even the spaghetti videos were horrifying because of all the warping. It's the same reason The Thing is horrifying. It's this blob with parts that somewhat resemble what we know, but those parts are being contorted and tortured before our eyes.
0:45 This is, why I always say: AI is dreaming. It reminds me of dreams. Thats it. It looks like screenshots of real dreams. 15:26 The moment you mentioned that, was a WOW effect for me. I did not know, that so many people think the same about the "dreaming AI".
That's a really interesting idea. 🤔
Can you like not screw up my viewing experiance with time stamps. PEOPLE THESE DAYS. NGL. How high are you? 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
If the AI is dreaming who knows what will happen when it wakes up.
Yes it looks like my dreams for sure
very effective thumbnail, man👌🏻
With this eye opening video essay, you earned a subscriber 🎉❤
Keep up the good work. I’m here feasting for knowledge
“I’m literally crying looking at this” LMAO🤣
Image at the start kinda looks like how a salvia trip feels. You can see everything yet nothing really makes sense. All objects lose their sense of meaning and you no longer able to percieve depth.
For me, at the beginning of a salvia trip, it always made me feel like some cruel joke was being played on me where I would be stuck or "tricked" into that bizarre state and it would never end. I would never reach back into reality. They used to call it the business man's acid trip because it was so brief.
for me a salvia trip was the most intense, took me to another dimension or plane of existence that's hard to describe other than to say everything felt like trapezoid shingles
Ai actually made Raygun a better dancer 💀💀💀
Sir i still rewatch your video about how the world could end every now and then, that was a masterpiece and filled me with dread.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that the photos can be just as terrifying, I've seen some really upsetting ones personally.
When AI versions of Raygun break dancing are more scary than literal monsters, you know you did something.
@13:25 Yes, Neanderthals and denisovan hunted homosapiens, early humans. We were smaller and weaker but we were much smarter.
except this theory is just a speculation.
Neanderthals could have been just another ethnicity of humans
i think i'm extra sensitive to this feeling because even just ai generated images make me feel absolutely creeped out and full of dread
regardless to say i was only able to listen to this video and not watch it lmao
Same many times I had to turn my phone around because uncanny or creepy images scare the shit out of me. Like if someone's head is deformed. I remember I was scrolling and a video was listing different phobias with a picture associated with it. Idk what the phobia was but it was a guy with a lot of chins or something and I swear I had almost a panic attack ao whatever that phobia is I definitely have it
I've been experiencing this feeling for a while too! I couldn't find anyone else that felt the same way until now though, to me when i look at the videos i feel like im looking at a bunch of spiders, like a i have a phobia of ai generated videos or something lol
AI will never match the artistic majesty and deep spiritual meaning of a banana duct-taped to a wall.
3:32 when she says "I'm not like other girls" and she really means it
20:27 I saw this movie 3 weeks ago, I was so confused because I thought you were going to say it was ai lol
What movie is it?
AI levels:
*Level 1: Cool*

To be fair, the AI makes Raygun dance better than she did at the olympics.
