The Uncanny Valley might not actually exist

No endorsement implied? Really?

Eveleth’s piece is definitely worth a read.

That’s an endorsement. No buts about it.

As for being worth a read, it absolutely is not. It’s a sensationalist techno-jargon navel-gazing non-story, designed purely to raise a non-issue and snare readers to bolster the BBC’s click through rates. This honestly makes me wonder if BBC paid for the plug.
