"In a series of Instagram Stories on Monday, Williams urged the internet to "stop sending me AI videos of dad." She continued, saying she's "seen way worse" from trolls and described the process as a "waste of time and energy," adding, "Believe me, it's not what he'd want." She went on to say that these same people are condensing people's very lives and legacies simply so they can "churn out horrible TikTok slop puppetering.""
"Those videos, Williams added, can't be considered art whatsoever but are rather "disgusting, over-processed hotdogs [sic]" made from people's unrelated imagery/likenesses. In turn, online users are only inundated with this "slop" because some folks are "hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up." She went on to say that these same people are reducing entire lives and legacies just to "churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering.""
"As if that wasn't enough, Zelda Williams delivered this undeniable truth bomb: AI isn't "the future," it's simply "recycling and regurgitating the past." And for the grand finale, she threw in a conversation-ending haymaker: "You are taking in The Human Centipede of content, and from the very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.""
A public figure demanded that people stop sending AI videos of a deceased comedian, calling such content disrespectful, wasteful, and not aligned with his wishes. The videos were described as condensing entire lives and legacies into low-quality, manipulative clips designed to chase engagement. The content was labeled "disgusting, over-processed hotdogs" and dismissed as non-art that repurposes unrelated imagery and likenesses. The critique framed AI as recycling past material rather than creating a future, comparing the stream of content to a "Human Centipede" that exploits those at the end for the consumption of those at the front.
