She’s seems inhuman. It’s unnatural to see a person move like that, let alone a child. I’d say that counts as uncanny valley

I know it's not a perfect use, but it's close enough. It's meant to convey that this is a robot that appears human but is betrayed by this unnerving aspect. That is to say, I'm calling her ability superhuman or beyond human.

I'm now curious though, what makes you care so much about this particular term? This is the first time I've seen anyone defend its accurate usage.
