“You’re Not Making Art” – Sandra Rose

Robin Williams’ daughter is disturbed by deepfake videos that show her iconic father “interacting” with late rapper Tupac Shakur and other stars.

Zelda Williams, 36, is annoyed by AI-generated videos that show the late comedic actor interacting with other dead celebrities.

The videos were created by Google’s Nano Banana app and OpenAI’s Soro 2 app. The apps make it easy to create realistic videos with a simple line of text.

Deepfake videos flooded social media over the weekend. Zelda’s followers tagged her in AI video posts on TikTok.

Zelda urged her followers to stop sending her the videos in an Instagram story on Monday, Oct. 6.

“Stop believing I wanna see it or that I’ll understand, I don’t and I won’. 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.”

Zelda criticized social media users who generate AI “TikTok slop” for clicks and views.

“To movie the legacies of real people be condensed down to ‘this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that’s enough,’ just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening,” Zelda wrote. “You’re not making art, you’re making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, and then shoving them down someone else’s throat hoping they’ll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.”

Martin Luther King Jr.’s daughter, Bernice King, agreed with Zelda’s message asking fans to stop sending AI videos of her father.

“I concur concerning my father. Please stop,” Bernice wrote.
