It occurs to me that Muppets are the anti-AI.
AI personas look real, but have no soul. And, despite being made of complex technology, they generate uncanny valley reactions, when they’re visual and not just chatbots.
Whereas Muppets look fake, but they have all the soul. They’re made of simple materials, animated just by human hands, and are immediately attractive. They’re people you want to know, despite never forgetting they’re artifice.
Henson & Co ftw. ❤️
