  "account": "Zelda Williams, daughter of the late actor Robin Williams, has once again pleaded with fans to stop creating artificial intelligence videos of her father. In a recent post on X, the \"Lisa Frankenstein\" director expressed her frustration with the \"supposedly 'private video'\" of her late father that she had been shown, stating it was clearly AI-generated and lacking the authenticity of his actual voice. Williams emphasized that anyone who believes it is genuine is likely listening to his movies without sound, as she found the robotic quality of the voice to be utterly convincing. She concluded by reminding her followers that \"just because he's gone does not mean he's now your puppet\" and urging them to \"have some shame.\" This plea from Williams' daughter is not the first time her children have spoken out against AI depictions of her father. Back in August, Zak, Zelda, and Cody Williams revived their late father's Instagram account to combat \"rampant AI abuse\" of his image. In a joint statement, they expressed their gratitude for new generations discovering his work, while also stressing their desire for a safe and authentic representation of his legacy.",
