7 Compelling Pieces Of Evidence That Kanye West Isn't Real

6. He Appears Emotionally Pre-Programmed

Don't know about you, but for me one of the most unnerving things about Kanye is the disconnect between his apparent emotional range (see: the endless Twitter rants) and his ability to physically express it.

Sad Kanye might be one of the greatest works of our age, but it also might be indicative of something much more practical.

Facial expressions are notoriously difficult to nail, particularly when it comes to robotics, and smiles are especially tricky. The trouble is that, the more realistic you try to make a human likeness, the more likely it is to fall into the uncanny valley, rendering it more creepy than cool.

Sad Kanye is an elegant solution to this problem. The neutral, dead-eyed stare is much easier to render convincingly in both animatronics and animation.

On the odd occasion Yeezy does crack a smile, it often looks a little forced to say the least and the rapid movement between expressions (as pictured above) indicates that they are the result of motors rather than emotions. In fact, it's more than a little reminiscent of this creepy animatronic face rolling through its "expressions" programming.
