Robin William’s daughter Zelda has begged people to stop sending her AI videos of her late father, who took his own life in 2014.

The Hollywood legend died at his home in Paradise Cay, California, at the age of 63.

His 36-year-old daughter said people choosing to make artificial intelligence videos of Robin was “gross”.

Taking to her Instagram Stories on Monday (US time), Zelda wrote: “Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad.

“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.”

She continued: “To watch 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.

“You’re not making art, you’re making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else’s throat hoping they’ll give you a little thumbs up and like it.

“Gross.”

The Lisa Frankenstein director blasted people who called AI “the future”.

“For the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it ‘the future’. AI is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed,” she said.

“You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.”
