Overview

• In new Instagram Stories posted Oct. 6–7, she urged people to stop sending AI videos of her father, warning she will restrict or block accounts that do so.
• She condemned the clips as disrespectful to his legacy, calling them “gross,” “over-processed hotdogs,” and “the Human Centipede of content,” and insisted they are not what he would have wanted.
• This continues her stance from 2023, when she supported SAG-AFTRA’s push for AI protections and described synthetic versions of her father as personally disturbing.
• Coverage notes a wave of Robin Williams deepfakes on TikTok, with some videos appearing to have been made using OpenAI’s Sora 2; OpenAI says rightsholders can file disputes but cannot blanket opt out.
• Her remarks land as actors and unions push back on synthetic performers such as ‘Tilly Norwood,’ stressing consent and fair control over likeness and posthumous representation.
