Current Events > people are sending Zelda Williams AI videos of her dad

(+) Yeah! (+)

and of course, she hates it:

Zelda Williams is asking people to stop sending her AI-generated videos of her late father, Robin Williams.

As AI becomes more mainstream, AI-generated videos of celebrities who have passed away have been trending on social media platforms in recent weeks. Viral videos of Robin Williams have been shared with her daughter, who recently posted on Instagram that she doesnt want to see them.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that Ill understand, I dont and I wont, Zelda posted on her Instagram Stories. If youre just trying to troll me, Ive seen way worse, Ill restrict and move on. But please, if youve got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. Its dumb, its a waste of time and energy, and believe me, its NOT what hed want.

AI-generated videos of Michael Jackson, alongside those of other legendary actors and singers who have passed away, have been circulating on social media. Zelda finds the content being generated using AI gross and maddening.

To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to this vaguely looks and sounds like them so thats enough, just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening, Zelda continued. Youre not making art, youre making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone elses throat hoping theyll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.

In a second Instagram Story post, Zelda added, And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it the future. AI is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. 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.

Gross. These shitbags are why fans are looked at with disdain.

Yeah, I read about that. Sounds absolutely horrible and tonedeaf.

Her human centipede line goes hard af

There are unfortunately loads of tech bro wannabe idiots that unironically think that AI deepfakes of dead people are legitimate tributes.

It's the best way anyone has ever described the whole bottom feeder life cycle of everyone involved with AI.

This shit is perversion

This is why I hate AI. **** that crap.

FFS people

People on the internet have been tormenting her ever since her dad died and I'll never understand why. She seems like a really nice, sweet person.

People don't get that while they lost a childhood icon, she lost her fucking dad. There's a world of difference, and the whole thing is just gross on their part.

God people are so fucking shitty and AI bros are some of the worst of those shits

and puppeting AI replicants of deceased actors will never not be weird and creepy to me

This is what AI bros used as a selling point to investors; Resurrecting dead movie stars so they wouldn't have to pay living ones. The AI bros are all assholes.

So disturbing and cruel

Tik tok slop and the people that enable it are thee worst

What the hell is wrong with people? Why would anyone think this was a great thing to do to someone?
