i was talking to someone about robots/3D representations of the human form, the other day and they said that the more realistically human the robot/figure is the more positively people respond to it until it starts getting too real.

think of it as a graph with "realism of artificial human" at 1 axis and "positivity of human response" on the other axis. the line keeps increasing with a real human interaction being the end of the line but just before that there is a huge dip where people get afraid of less than perfect humans. something about being so close to a human that you couldn't tell otherwise and the omition of a soul or whatever.

but i was thinking maybe that's why we all prefer to use analog synths rather than digital samples, if i needed piano in one of my songs (but couldn't use a real piano for some reason) i would much rather create a synth sound that has similar characteristics to a piano (but doesn't pretend to be one) on an analog synth, than use a digital sample.

yeah just thought i'd share my thoughts
