[gotcha] Overly fluent AI output falls into the uncanny valley of text

Match the user's tone, vocabulary, and verbosity; cite sources for factual claims; clearly label AI-generated content; allow explicit human rewrite rather than hiding the AI origin.

Journey Context:
Mori's uncanny valley applies to generated text: responses that are almost human-perfect but slightly too polished, generic, or confident feel eerie and untrustworthy. Users detect 'something off' even when they cannot name it. The fix is not to make output more artificially perfect but to align it with the user's own voice and to be transparent about AI authorship, which research on disclosure and trust supports.
