oh come, are you guys serious? this is such a load, that video doesn't "freak me out" in the least, (hard rain that is) it annoys me because her jaw moves like she has down syndrome X10 and her lips arent synched for crap. The word all of you are looking for is not "uncomfortable" its "agitated" with the half-assed animation coupled to an otherwise well made polygon model. As for people saying stuff like "omg, think of grand theft auto if it looked 100% real, i couldn't play that," how is that any different from watching a cop movie with lots of violence? a cop movie actually has REAL people even though the violence is fake so it will always be more shocking than a 100% fake polygon simulation. To address another off the wall statement made about a "sims 9000" where technology is so advanced the sims could form a "consciousness" of sorts, artificial intelligence does exist and certainly can evolve, but a computer is nothing more than an advanced calculator. Emotions, etc. are beyond the grasp of a computer because it has no instinct or hormones like humans (and im not talking sex hormones, get your mind out of the gutter) and the bottom line is that it can only do what its programmed to do or adapt in a very systematic fashion based on its program. A real life Terminator would only be possible if some jackass programmed robots to kill people, same with the matrix. I appreciate the off color nature of this article but I think the results on the graph are more a result of the power of intellectual persuasion than a testament to biological and chemical reaction of human beings. Also, modern psychology has pretty much proven a correlation between ignorance and the belief in the supernatural (voodoo, magic, etc) and any uneasiness would come more from not understanding then technology rather than any real justified discomfort. For example, I have heard of primitive villages in africa confiscating cameras because they believed that the film/photograph trapped the individual's souls in the photograph (which anyone that hasn't been living in a hole for 200 years knows thats ridiculous). The same can be seen when a child sees a magic show (and hasn't been told its fake) and a reputable college professor sees the same show. The child is bewildered at the unexplainable mysteries while the college professor is anylyzing the slight of hand to discover the inner workings of the trick. The bottom line here is the only reason you should get freaked out by semi-real computer generated animation is if you have a paranoia of supernatural misfortunes (being eaten by a zombie, being eaten by a down syndrome housewife with a gun and horse teeth, etc).
