(NewsNation) — Robin Williams’ daughter has a message for fans who are using AI of her father: Don’t.
“Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad,” Zelda Williams wrote on her Instagram Stories on Monday. “Stop believing I wanna see it or that I’ll understand, I don’t and I won’t.”
She added, “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.”
As AI becomes more mainstream, social media has been flooded with AI-generated videos of celebrities who have passed away, including Michael Jackson, Prince and Williams.
Zelda Williams: AI videos of dead celebrities is ‘gross’
The “Lisa Frankenstein” director said she finds these types of videos “maddening” and “gross.”

“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.”
She added, “You’re not making art, you’re making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of 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.”
Robin Williams died by suicide in 2014 at age 63 after a fight with the brain disorder Lewy Body Dementia, which is the second most common form of dementia behind Alzheimer’s disease, according to the Mayo Clinic.
