As with humanoid robots and animation, they're hitting a wall of the "uncanny gap" or "uncanny valley" which occurs when an imitation becomes very realistic, suddenly the differences between real and imitation become heightened, and repulsive. Because your brain is hard-wired to protect you from food that is not the real thing. Fear of clowns or coulorophobia may be rooted in the same phenomenon.
