Zelda Williams ethers AI 'tributes' to her dead dad: 'You’re making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings'

Robin Williams making a joke on a stage.

Zelda Williams, the daughter of the late Robin Williams, has launched a withering attack on the reams of AI-generated slop that's been generated featuring the actor's likeness. You can see why if you ever watch any of it. AI-generated video can barely manage a plausible normal human being for more than a few seconds, but a pun-packing livewire like Robin Williams, whose energy and humour shone out of his face like sunbeams? It's a joke, and not a good one.

"Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad," Zelda Williams wrote in an Instagram story. "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.
