That’s by design. The uncanny valley is meant to guard us against things that are close to human, but not quite. Specifically corpses/dead things or extremely sickly people.
This is intentionally drawn as a monster, and doesn’t resemble a human as much as an AI generated image is trying to.
Our brain is, subconsciously, able to discern the difference.
One is only a threat in our head (the monster) and the other is a potential disease carrier (AI Generated)
It’s kind of disappointing that I haven’t seen more deliberate uses of bad AI imagery. I think it’s just too powerfully uncanny for people to voluntarily stomach.
This is somehow less terrifying than AI generated human faces.

My running rule (that i ALWAYS ignore) is to never zoom in on ai faces. It’s horrifying.
