Robin Williams' daughter pleads for people to stop sending AI videos of her dad,

Zelda Williams, daughter of the famous actor Robin Williams, recently found herself in a rather unpleasant situation. Her father sadly passed away in 2014, following several difficult years with his physical and mental health. However, this man's impact on the entertainment world has never been forgotten; his roles are still fondly remembered by countless fans.

With the advent of artificial intelligence and the resulting innovations, it has become increasingly easy to generate visual content, such as photographs and videos, representing figures of any kind, in any circumstances. In the last month, a new trend has begun to circulate on the Internet, characterised by the self-explanatory phrase “bring your loved ones back to life”: using AI, several users have begun to generate videos depicting their loved ones or, as in Zelda's case, famous figures who are no longer with us.

Following countless messages containing artificially generated videos and images of her father, the woman publicly shared her opinion on the matter, emphasising how this trend is distasteful and disrespectful to the lives of the individuals involved, to the history of art and music, all for the sake of following yet another trend.
