Here’s a question that’s been spinning in my head like Mercury doing backflips in retrograde—when does paying tribute tiptoe into trespassing? Zelda Williams is putting her foot down, asking folks to stop flooding her with AI-generated videos of her late dad, the incomparable Robin Williams. Known for heart-melting roles from Mrs. Doubtfire to Good Will Hunting, Robin’s legacy is as vast as Jupiter’s orbit, but his daughter’s plea strikes a chord about respect, boundaries, and the weird digital resurrection of icons in our TikTok-obsessed age. Especially under today’s uneasy Pisces moon, where emotions flow and memories blur, Zelda’s call highlights a friction between remembrance and exploitation—reminding us that some legacies shouldn’t be replayed on auto-repeat by soulless algorithms. Is it art or a digital ghost show? Let’s unpack this respectful but fiery stand from someone who knows the man beyond the pixels. LEARN MORE

Robin Williams’ daughter has called for people to stop sending her AI-generated videos of her late father.
The legendary actor – known for countless classics, from Mrs Doubtfire to Good Will Hunting – took his own life in 2014 at the age of 63. His postmortem revealed that he suffered from Lewy body dementia (LBD), a neurodegenerative disease that causes cognitive decline and symptoms similar to Parkinson’s disease.
Zelda Williams, the daughter of Robin and Marsha Garces Williams, issued a plea in a recent social media post, telling people to stop ‘trying to troll me’.
The Lisa Frankenstein director said sending her AI videos of the film star was a ‘waste of time and energy’.
“Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad,” Williams wrote on her Instagram Stories on Monday (6 October).

“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.
“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.”
The 36-year-old continued: “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.”

Zelda, who refused to call AI ‘the future’, added: “AI is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed.
“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.”
It comes after Matthew Lawrence, who played Mrs Doubtfire’s son, said he would ‘love’ to revive his voice via AI.
Lawrence told Entertainment Weekly at Comic-Con in July that ‘with the respect and with the OK’ from his family, he would love to ‘do something really special’.
“I know for a generation, that voice is just so iconic,” he said. “It’s not just the fact that I knew him and worked with him and so it’s in my head – it’s in everybody’s head. And it would be so cool.”
