Maybe, maybe not. It didn't happen with CGI, the uncanny valley hasn't been surmounted, car chases aside. The mulchers, as Bruce Sterling calls them, have a fresh meat problem. They've consumed all the words, and all the pictures, and we already know that feeding them their own mulch gives worse results. We're not at the scale limit for data but we know where it is. It's not clear that refinements to the mulching process will create mulch good enough to tell apart from creation. It might. But it might not.

> with CGI, the uncanny valley hasn't been surmounted I'm not so sure about this. While some scenes are still obviously using CGI, I think a lot of CGI in movies now passes unnoticed, even entirely digital characters. We certainly notice when those characters do things humans can't do, of course, and when budget or schedule or both result in things being pushed out too early, but how would we know when digital characters look natural on-screen? We wouldn't!
