Viral AI<\/a>-generated videos of dead celebrities are making the rounds online.<\/p>\n The clips, which feature deceased celebrities such as 2Pac<\/a>, Kobe Bryant<\/a>, Michael Jackson<\/a>, and Elvis Presley<\/a> appearing to be interacting in real time, made their way to social media this week.<\/p>\n In one clip, 2Pac takes a selfie video with Kobe and Elvis, asking them to say \u201cHabana,\u201d which is likely a reference to the groundless conspiracy theory that the rapper is still alive and hiding in Cuba. Another video shows the All Eyez On Me artist racing the late NBA star.<\/p>\n 2Pac is also seen chatting with Jackson, Bruce Lee<\/a>, and the Notorious B.I.G.<\/a> in separate clips circulating on social media.<\/p>\n \u201cThey need to regulate this quickly\u2026making AI videos and using ppls likeness can turn left quick..and ppl shouldn\u2019t be able to monetize it either,\u201d wrote one user.<\/p>\n \u201cSomething about this feels strange to me I’d feel weird about random people making AI videos of me after my death portraying me a certain way But maybe that’s just me \ud83d\ude05,\u201d wrote another.<\/p>\n Despite some of the outrage over the ethics of AI-generated videos and their implications, Danity Kane’s Aubrey O\u2019Day said she saw the clips in a positive light.<\/p>\n \u201c[W]ild. made my heart happy tho to see situations of resolution or solidarity, that will never occur, but it allowed me to imagine it,\u201d O\u2019Day wrote earlier this week.<\/p>\n The controversial videos arrived before OpenAI made a significant policy shift regarding its AI video tool, Sora 2.<\/p>\n According to Gizmodo<\/a>, OpenAI recently reversed its initial copyright policy for Sora. Previously, users were seemingly able to use copyrighted content unless user opted out.<\/p>\n Following backlash and a statement from the Motion Picture Association condemning the tool for its potential for copyright infringement, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced a move to an opt-in model. This change will allow copyright holders to decide how their characters and content can be used.<\/p>\n As noted by 404 Media<\/a>, social media platforms like Reddit and X have seen backlash from users frustrated that they can no longer create short videos featuring copyrighted characters. One user in the OpenAI subreddit claimed the option was \u201cthe only reason this app was so fun.\u201d Meanwhile, another user wrote, \u201c\u201cMoral policing and leftist ideology are destroying America\u2019s AI industry.\u201d<\/p>\n Recently, Robin Williams<\/a>\u2019 daughter, Zelda, asked fans to \u201cstop sending me AI videos\u201d of her late father<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cStop believing I wanna see it or that I\u2019ll understand, I don\u2019t and I won\u2019t,\u201d said the 36-year-old. \u201cIf 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 Bernice King, daughter of Martin Luther King Jr., agreed with Zelda\u2019s message, writing, “I concur concerning my father. Please stop.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.complex.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Viral AI-generated videos of dead celebrities are making the rounds online.
