asimov explained how androids should be human form so that our world continues to be designed around our shape, rather than leaving us behind. doesn't require an uncanny face though.
It would not exclude clear differentiation, however. :)
Just like a chatbot posting on social media can add a message footer "this content was posted by a robot" to a fluent and human-like message, a humanoid robot, while having human form, can clearly identify itself as a robot.
Personally, I think such a design requirement is higly reasonable on social media (as a barrier or action threshold against automated mass manipulation) but probably also in real life, if a day comes when human-like robots are abundant.
Holy shit, that's a great point that I wouldn't have thought of. Great fucking point.
That's a fascinating thought
