Zelda Williams, daughter of comedian Robin Williams, has publicly denounced AI-generated videos recreating her father’s persona. Sharing a heartfelt message on social media, she asked fans to cease sending her these videos, emphasizing they are neither wanted nor comprehensible to her.
She described the AI content as “over-processed” and “gross,” reducing a celebrated human legacy to distorted digital puppetry. Zelda called out the entertainment industry and social platforms for enabling such content and urged respect for those no longer with us.
The message raises profound questions about the ethical use of AI technology, particularly for representing deceased artists, and the limits of digital resurrection in art.
