Attention: You are now leaving the Uncanny Valley (but you are not quite out)

I'd love to be part of a double blind test to see if that feeling is because I know it's generated. I feel that if I watched an hour of that I would feel anxious or tired and not know why because I wouldn't know it was generated, but somewhere I would feel it.

I am guessing that a year from now at most, the best models will be fully out of the Uncanny Valley
