We're out of the Uncanny Valley

For those who aren't familiar, the Uncanny Valley (theorized in 1970 by Masahiro Mori) is why CGI faces have thus far looked worse than puppetry - and why dead people freak us out. Primitive simulations of the human face look pretty good to us while we're still allowed to use our imaginations to complete the picture, and the closer they get, the worse they seem - for a while - because we can detect so many missing nuances.

We have crossed it. While inevitable, this is scary news. The Blade Runner days when we can't tell robot from human are fast approaching. Click her picture for the creepy demonstration.
