"Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. 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. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want."
"To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,' just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening."
"You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shovin"
Zelda Williams, 36, publicly demanded that people stop creating and sending AI-generated videos of her late father, Robin Williams. Robin Williams died by suicide in August 2014 at age 63 and was later found to have been quietly suffering from Lewy body dementia. Zelda said receiving deepfakes is distressing, urged decency, and warned that she will restrict or move on from trolls. OpenAI released the Sora 2 video-generation tool on an invite-only basis, and social networks are already filling with deepfakes of deceased celebrities. OpenAI bars recreations of living public figures without consent but allows historical figures, creating a loophole exploited online.
