Overview

• Posting on Instagram on October 7, Zelda Williams asked people to stop sending her AI-generated videos that mimic her late father.
• She called the clips “dumb” and a waste of time and energy, saying they are not what Robin Williams would have wanted.
• Arguing the creators are “not making art,” she described the output as “disgusting, over-produced hotdogs” drawn from others’ lives and work.
• Coverage framed her criticism within the trend of low-quality “KI” or “TikTok” slop, highlighting concerns over consent and dignity.
• Reports noted Robin Williams died in 2014 at 63 and that Zelda has opposed AI voice and likeness re-creations since at least 2023.
