The daughter of Robin Williams, filmmaker Zelda Williams, is pleading with her late father’s fans and trolls, asking them to stop sending her artificial intelligence generated videos of him, describing them as “over-processed hotdogs.”
“Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad,” Zelda Williams, known for directing “Lisa Frankenstein,” posted on an Instagram story Monday, according to Deadline. “Stop believing I wanna see it or that I’ll understand, I don’t and I won’t.”
The late actor died at the age of 63 in an apparent suicide in 2014. He was best known for his roles in ’90s and 2000s comedies such as “Mrs. Doubtfire” and “Jumanji.”
His daughter told those trolling her that she has “seen way worse.”
“But please, if you’ve got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop,” she said. “It’s dumb, it’s a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it’s NOT what he’d want.”
This was not the first time Zelda Williams slammed AI generated content of her late father. In 2023, she described AI recreations of her dad’s iconic voice as “personally disturbing.”
“These recreations are, at their very best, a poor facsimile of greater people,” Zelda Williams said at the time. “But at their worst, a horrendous Frankensteinian monster, cobbled together from the worst bits of everything this industry is, instead of what it should stand for.”
She stood by her stance against AI on Monday, brutally telling those using the technology they’re “not making art.”
“You’re not making art, you’re 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 else’s throat hoping they’ll give you a little thumbs up and like it,” Zelda Williams wrote. “Gross.”
The filmmaker’s statement comes amid backlash over Tilly Norwood, an AI program dubbed Hollywood’s first “AI actor,” launched by Dutch producer and comedian Eline Van der Velden.
“And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it ‘the future.’ AI is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed,” Zelda Williams said in a follow-up post. “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.”
