Bernice King, the daughter of Martin Luther King Jr., wants the AI-generated photos and videos of her late father to cease.
Earlier this week, Zelda Williams, the daughter of late actor and comedian Robin Williams, wrote in an Instagram Story about being offended that she was being tagged in and sent AI content of her father. The Academy Award winner died by suicide in 2014.
“Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad,” Zelda wrote. “Stop believing I wanna see it or that I’ll understand, I don’t and I won’t. If you’re just trying to troll me, I’ve seen way worse, I’ll restrict and move on.
“But please, if you’ve got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop,” she continued. “It’s dumb, it’s a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it’s NOT what he’d want.”
In a tweet on Tuesday (Oct. 7), Bernice King agreed with Zelda’s message, writing, “I concur concerning my father. Please stop.”

Earlier this year, King called out Sexyy Red for posting an AI-generated photo of herself dancing with MLK in a club on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
The image angered the daughter of the civil rights leader, who called the post “intentionally distasteful, dishonoring, deplorable, and disrespectful” to her father’s legacy.
Sexyy apologized and deleted the post, to which King responded with “concerns about the image.”
“I know that my father has become a bit of a caricature to the world and that his image is often used with no regard to his family, his sacrificial work, or to the tragic, unjust way in which he died (a state-sanctioned assassination),” she wrote.
As content made with artificial intelligence continues to fester, there are looming worries about visuals that zombify deceased celebrities.
