"Uncanny valley" is ...
a computer-generated figure or humanoid robot bearing a near-identical resemblance to a human being and arouses a sense of unease or revulsion in the person viewing it...
feelings of unease or revulsion that people tend to have toward artificial representations of human beings...
Uncanny valley is the creep factor you feel when robots and animated characters look too human.

Now in use everywhere as the reverse: a human who looks and acts like a robot.
Basically a synonym for creepy.
Also the title of a new flick about ... a robot.
First use in the 1970s by Masahiro Mori, then a professor at the Tokyo Institute of Technology.
