Zelda, the daughter of the late Hollywood actor and comedian Robin Williams, pleaded for people not to send videos that recreate him using artificial intelligence.
Zelda Williams recently posted on her social media, Please stop sending me AI videos of my father. Don't assume I want to see them or that I'll understand them. I do not, and I never will..
She added, If your intent is to mock me, I've seen worse so I'll just block and move on. But if you have even the smallest amount of decency, please stop doing this to my father, to me and to everyone. Stop completely. This is stupid and a waste of time and energy. And this really is not something my father would have wanted., she said.
Zelda also criticized, Watching the legacies of real people be reduced to AI images and videos is maddening. That's not art. It's like taking the materials of a human life and the history of art and music, processing them into a disgustingly manufactured hot dog and forcing it on someone. It's being forced for the sake of getting a single like. It's revolting.
Later she posted additionally, Don't call AI the future. AI is just clumsily recycling the past, chewing it up and making us consume it again., she wrote.
The late Robin Williams was found dead at his home in California on Aug. 12, 2014. He was 63. Police and emergency responders arrived at the scene but he was already in cardiac arrest, and reports said he took his own life after suffering from depression related to Lewy body dementia.
Robin Williams began his career as a stand-up comedian and won affection for his wide-ranging performances across comedy and drama in films such as Good Morning, Vietnam, Dead Poets Society, Aladdin and Mrs. Doubtfire.
