The daughter of late actor Robin Williams has begged people to stop sending her AI-generated "slop" of her father.
"Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad," actor and director Zelda Williams wrote on Instagram on Monday.
"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 described the videos as "disgusting, over-processed hotdogs" made from the lives of human beings.
"You're [...] shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross," she wrote.
It's not the first time Williams has written about the impact of people sending her content about her father on social media.
In 2020, on the anniversary of her father's death, Williams posted on Instagram saying:
"While I am constantly touched by all of your boundless continued love for him, some days it can feel a bit like being seen as a roadside memorial - a place, not a person - where people drive past and leave their sentiments to then go about their days comforted their love for him was witnessed."
"But sometimes, that leaves me emotionally buried under a pile of others' memories instead of my own."

The death of Robin Williams in 2014, an actor and comedian known for his quick wit and wisdom, triggered a global outpouring of grief and tributes to the star still frequently surface on social media to this day.
In 2023, Zelda appealed for the end of AI-generated content, saying in a widely-reported post on Instagram:
"I've witnessed for YEARS how many people want to train these models to create/recreate actors who cannot consent, like Dad. This isn't theoretical, it is very very real."
"I've already heard AI used to get his 'voice' to say whatever people want and while I find it personally disturbing, the ramifications go far beyond my own feelings."
