Zelda Williams Renews Plea to Stop AI Videos of Robin Williams: 'Have Some Shame'

Zelda Williams posted on X on 22 September calling out a viral 'private video' of her late father Robin Williams as unconvincing AI, adding 'leave him out of your delusional bullshit and let him rest… Just because he's gone does not mean he's now your puppet. Have some shame.' The plea revives an October 2025 request and lands as AI video tools continue to produce likeness-fakes of dead celebrities. Hacker News surfaced the Variety piece with 62 points and 25 comments in five hours.
