Zelda Williams Urges Halt to AI Videos of Robin Williams

Los Angeles, Oct 7 (PTI) — Zelda Williams, daughter of the legendary Oscar-winning actor Robin Williams, has asked her fans and followers to stop sending her AI-generated videos of her late father.

Williams, known for her role in "Lisa Frankenstein," expressed her stance on the matter, stating that not only does she see it as a waste of energy, but she also believes it goes against what her father would have wanted.

She took to Instagram on Monday to share her views.

"Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I’ll understand. I don’t and I won’t. If you’re just trying to troll me, I’ve seen way worse, I’ll restrict and move on. But please, if you’ve got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It’s dumb, it’s a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it’s NOT what he’d want," Zelda wrote.

The actor further criticized the use of artificial intelligence to recreate the legacies of real people, describing the act as "gross."

"To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to ‘this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that’s enough’, just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You’re not making art, you’re making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else’s throat hoping they’ll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross."

Zelda emphasized her opposition to labeling AI as ‘the future,’ asserting that it merely recycles the past.

"And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it ‘the future,’ AI is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be re-consumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume."

Robin Williams, celebrated for his iconic roles in films like "Good Will Hunting," "Dead Poets Society," "Good Morning, Vietnam," and "Mrs. Doubtfire," tragically passed away in 2014 at the age of 63.
