From the article: Zelda William, daughter of late actor Robin Williams, has requested fans to stop sending her AI-generated videos of her father.
Williams, one of America’s most adored actors and star of Mrs Doubtfire and Dead Poets Society, died by suicide in 2014 at the age of 63. In the months leading up to Williams’ death, he had been struggling with health issues after being misdiagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, and his autopsy revealed he had Lewy body dementia, an incurable brain disease that causes trouble sleeping, hallucinations, and loss of motor actions, amongst other symptoms.
In a social media post, the Lisa Frankenstein director said it was a “waste of time and energy” to send her content that featured digitally generated likenesses of Williams because it would not be something he’d want.
“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,” Williams wrote on her Instagram Stories on Monday. “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.”
Honestly it is kind of sick and weird. But, technology can’t be stopped. I am sure it is mega-painful to her and his entire family but, well, here we are
This is really interesting, because the content creators are probably people that really love or loved Robin. Then they assume they are being empathetic by sending it on. Think they’re performing a kind act.
Gotta clarify your assumptions people
If I was rich and famous, I wouldn’t have any social media accounts to interact with the public. At least not directly. Maybe hire someone to bring up anything interesting and then I can respond if something good comes up. But between all the hate messages and then this weird AI shit and parasocial fans I don’t think I’d want to directly engage with social media.
I empathise and deplore people doing these things, her dad was an amazing guy.
But.
She ould just not go on social media? I get sent memes just from friends because I don’t partake in social media. I used to then realised it’s idiotic. It’s a clown show. A marketting space.
It is plain and simply horrifying that people are doing this to her, and using his image like that.
