Uncannny Valley is a card game to welcome our future A.I. overlords

On this card, I like the sunset in the desert in the background - and then you see for some reason the concept is ALSO the background for the computer. Coincidence? Or just... uncanny?

Would you eat that donut?

With this card, I love how it is both idyllic and ominous. It looks like two kids playing pirates at the seaside, and yet they seem to have a real robot that has a battleship for a head. Is that their boat in the distance or should they stop posing for this photo (?) to prepare for their attackers? I especially love the watercolor treatment.

So lovely. So peaceful. Then I noticed the fingers...

And is the main figure behind the grid or in front of it?

Is this a very short pirate or a child pirate with a fake mustache?

Kids, do NOT ride your bicycle like this. In fact, perhaps just put down the guitar next time you want to go for a ride...

Own guitarist pining for misshaped strawberries on a donut table. What's not to love.

Let's not even get into those broccoli trees!

I think part of what this project might be about it that generative AIs are being asked to reproduce the real world without understanding it. So when asked to reproduce the world with increasingly complex and frankly bizarre constraints, it is doing what it was asked to do, creating a world that NEVER existed. So maybe the uncanny valley lies less in what it produces than in the nature of my initial prompt!

This card is some Wes Anderson on acid stuff.

For this card, the organ-tint seems to match the mood of this tarot-styled boy guitarist with his inquisitive fox/cat. But... how many hands are playing that guitar? How many fingers are strumming it?

I also love how lush the foliage is around them and the paper-cut out style forest in the background.

Taking the show on the road to New Jersey!

This card features a mash-up of WTF.

The pirate on this tarot card is riding a house, I mean a bicycle, I mean a motorized vehicle, I mean what the heck is that and where did his left leg go?

This card is cactus-full - and then one is holding a guitar, in a top hat (just as I asked). I like the windows. And how the three parts of the stained glass windows spill beyond the window frame to frame the room itself, blurring what is in and what is in front of the glass, in an impossible way.

Owl ballerina on a bike in the style of a mosaic, in the rain. This card to me is a gift that keeps on giving. The owl's bizarre ballerina feet - and three of them, with one missing a foot! The bike wheels are themselves mosaics. That rain is so luscious I can taste it. No part of the owl seems to be even touching the bike. And the inside of the wings are just beautiful. What a bizarre oddity!
