Overview

• Posting on Instagram, Zelda Williams asked people to stop sending her AI-generated videos that imitate Robin Williams.
• She condemned the clips as grotesque and not art, likening them to overprocessed hot dogs made from real people’s lives.
• Williams said some send the videos to provoke or hurt her and stressed that this is not what her father would have wanted.
• Trade coverage reports a recent spike in such content following the release of OpenAI’s more advanced Sora 2 tool, and studio and agency leaders have voiced intellectual-property concerns.
• Her plea comes the same week Hollywood criticized the AI-designed performer known as Tilly Norwood.
