Zelda Williams asks the actor to stop sending digital recreations of the actor and comedian and criticizes the misuse of the image of deceased artists
The director and actress Zelda Williamsdaughter of the legendary comedian Robin Williams (Patch Adams: Love is contagious), used your social networks to make a direct appeal: stop sending videos generated by artificial intelligence that mimic your father. In a series of posts on Instagram Stories, Zelda classified digital recreations as “disgusting”,“a waste of time”And something that“I would never represent what he would like”.
“Please stop sending me videos of my father. Stop believing that I want to see this or I will understand – I don’t want and I won’t“, he wrote. “If you are trying to tease me, I’ve seen worse and I will only restrict and move on. But if you have a minimum of decency, stop doing it with him, with me and everyone.”
Zeldawhich recently directed the romantic comedy Lisa Frankensteinit harshly criticized the use of AI to simulate voices and faces of dead artists, pointing to practice as a form of “Reduce real legacies to empty products for rapid consumption”.
“Watching the legacy of real people is condensed to ‘sounds and sounds a little like them, so it’s good’ it’s crazy. You are not doing art, you are making sausages processed from the lives of human beings and art history“, he wrote.
The filmmaker also mocked the idea that AI represents “the future”From the entertainment industry:“For all that is sacred, stop calling it ‘The Future’. AI only recycle and regurgit the past. You are consuming the human centipede of the content, and the worst side of the line, while the above laugh and consume nonstop.”
This is not the first time that Zelda It manifests itself against the use of the father’s image by artificial intelligence. In 2023, during the union strike SAG-AFTRA, She had already called the digital recreations “disturbingAnd denounced attempts to “Revive actors who cannot consent”.
“I’ve heard my father’s voice being generated by Ia to say anything. It’s something personally disturbing”, He said at the time.”These recreations are, at best, a poor copy of grandiose people – and, at the worst, a Frankensteinian monster that represents everything wrong in the industry.”
Robin WilliamsOscar winner for Indomitable genius (1997), died in 2014 at 63. Since then, fans have used AI tools to recreate their voice and image, especially in social networks – something that Zelda has been trying to fight in the name of her father’s memory and artistic integrity.
