The Dimensional Empathy Framework
Understanding where the "uncanny valley" emerges in AI interactions.
Empathy Framework Diagram

Key Dimensions:

Analytical vs Embodied: Data-driven calculation vs. physical/emotional presence.

Temporal vs Atemporal: Connected to time flow vs. outside time constraints.

Contextual vs Decontextualized: Grounded in context vs. context-free.

Intuitive vs Computational: Natural/effortless vs. calculated/algorithmic.

The Uncanny Valley:

The "uncanny valley" occurs when AI interaction is close to human-like but not quite there--creating a sense of unease or discomfort.
