@davidmead Great work! It sounds like you should send a pull request for your changes to the Known plugin! I bet many others would benefit from the changes too! #indieweb -
Is it just me or is the author using the term "Uncanny Valley" completely wrong? Ignoring the silly Pixar story, I still don't understand how voice recognition (or more accurately, speech recognition) is currently in the uncanny valley.
You know when your GPS says "recalculating" in a condescending voice? That's the uncanny valley of text-to-speech. -
I’m pretty sure it’s pronounced “Wesley-Ann” (thebloggess.com)
and she keeps saying “Recalculating” in this really judgey, condescending way

They started sending random pictures back! :-)

@oscargodson @aaronpk That’s demonstrably false and I move to strike.
@holman @oscargodson I haven't actually heard of the term being used like that. I've only heard it in this context: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley -

@aaronpk @oscargodson You can’t trust things you read on the Internet, though.

@aaronpk It was initially disclosed in Ed Catmull’s “Creativity, Inc.”
@holman but the concept of the uncanny valley is way older than that

We’ve reached the Uncanny Valley, and everyone except these fucking computers knows what I’m talking about.

@holman While I agree with your points, that's not really the meaning of "uncanny valley." And what's with the Pixar story?? -
