Unfortunately, AI content creators have no shame, and neither do social media content curation algorithms; in the current configuration of the world, those two entities form a closed loop that produces and serves this shameful content to unwilling bystanders. From a God’s-eye perspective it is easy to say “we should change this system so this doesn’t happen”, but from within the system each participant can only say “let us follow our incentives to become slightly more rich than other participants” (and any entity that might’ve once held a God’s-eye view along with the power to make such a change has long since abdicated their role).

It is decent microcosm of the state of the world if you’re looking to understand why younger generations seem so fatalistically, nihilistically depressed - they are simply aware that nobody can break these vicious cycles.

Are people here not even reading the article?

The video Robin's daughter referenced in her tweet is being circulated as a "private video" of him. In other words, people are claiming it's a real video, or being led to believe it's a real video. It's not and therefore this isn't some misguided AI-generated act of love. It's deception, almost certainly to garner and possibly monetize "attention".

The struggle is real:

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

2023:

Robin Williams’ daughter Zelda slams AI for recreating her father’s voice

Zelda Williams is getting the AI videos forwarded to her by fans.

People who are Robin Williams fans aren't making AI videos of him.

The kind of people who are making videos of him are people trying to get engagement on social media.

Either building an audience to then be an "influencer", or to sell the account to a marketing firm who will then use it to kickstart an online brand.

Marketing company has a client with some stupid new kitchen gadget, so they buy a pumped up account that had Robin Williams memes intermixed with some stolen baking/cooking cartoons and memes.

It's always about money...

I will play devil's advocate:

1. All she does is creating Streisand effect

2. Nobody forces her to be on platforms where she can meet with AI BS of her father, she can interact only with her friends to avoid public BS and not try to be public celebrity (only thanks to beging his daughter, not because she achieved something on herself)

3. She is known ONLY because she is Robin William's daughter, somehow I feel there are monetary reasons behind her complaining, if not, then follow point 2
