\n\tZelda Williams wants to make one thing clear: she\u2019s not interested in seeing any AI-generated videos of her late father, Robin Williams. The director posted a strongly worded Instagram Story on Monday, denouncing the social media trend, where people use AI-generators to create videos of deceased celebrities, her father included.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cPlease, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad,\u201d Williams wrote. \u201cStop believing I wanna see it or that I\u2019ll understand, I don\u2019t and I won\u2019t. If you\u2019re just trying to troll me, I\u2019ve seen way worse, I\u2019ll restrict and move on. But please, if you\u2019ve got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It\u2019s dumb, it\u2019s a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it\u2019s NOT what he\u2019d want.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tCalling the videos \u201cgross\u201d and \u201cmaddening,\u201d she continued: \u201cTo watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to \u2018this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that\u2019s enough\u2019, just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening,\u201d she continued. \u201cYou\u2019re not making art, you\u2019re 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\u2019s throat hoping they\u2019ll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tWilliams concluded by slamming the very idea of Artificial Intelligence. \u201cAnd for the love of EVERY THING, stop calling it \u2018the future,\u2019 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe filmmaker previously spoke out against the use of her father\u2019s voice\u00a0for AI in 2023, when recreating a person\u2019s image or voice without their approval was one of the top concerns during\u00a0the SAG-AFTRA strike.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cI am not an impartial voice in SAG\u2019s fight against AI,\u201d she wrote at the time. \u201cI\u2019ve witnessed for YEARS how many people want to train these models to create\/recreate actors who cannot consent, like Dad. This isn\u2019t theoretical, it is very very real.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
