People feel threatened by human-like computers
In the age of artificial intelligence, there is a growing number of devices that communicate with us. We give them names like "Siri" and "Alexa" and don't find them threatening - until they are given a face.
Evolving technology can create robots that look like people, but it is also at this point where people start to object. Once you can make eye contact with a machine, it starts to look like a horror movie.

Realistic robots are profitable
- On the extreme, a Swedish manufacturer produced robot clones of a loved one who has died. The robots can control speech, has the capacity for facial recognition and other artificial intelligence capabilities.
- During the pandemic lockdown, the supplier Silicone Lovers experienced an increase in demand for these dolls.
The dolls cost $5,000 to $10,000 plus an added charge of $3,000 to $5,000 for the printing cost, but most people won't buy one because of the unease it creates.

Realistic robots feels creepy
Research explored some of the reasons people view robots that are too realistic as creepy.
- Human replicas cause creepy perceptions, known as the "uncanny valley." They found that exposure over time decreases the perception of uncanniness.
- While robots can have some human features, there can be too much of a good thing. That can produce feelings of unease, eeriness, and revulsion.
Perhaps that is why animated dolls are more associated with characters in nightmares, regardless of usefulness.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
