Details
Zelda Williams, an American actress and director, is urging fans to stop recreating her father, the world-renowned comedian and multiple Emmy and Grammy winner Robin Williams, using artificial intelligence. She also asked them not to send her AI videos depicting her late father.
"It infuriates me to see the legacy of real people squeezed into something that 'vaguely sounds and looks like them, so that's enough,'" she continues. "You're not creating art. You're creating horrific, recycled hot dogs of people's lives, art history, and music, and then shoving it down our throats, hoping you'll get approval, that they'll like it. It's disgusting."
Known for her excellent voice acting as Kuvira in "The Legend of Korra," the actress, director, and writer also criticized AI attempts to recreate her father, pointing to "recycled" creations.

Addition
Zelda Williams' dissatisfaction and anger clearly illustrate the dispute between the possibilities of technological progress, including in the hands of amateurs, and questions of respect for the memory of past stage heroes. Do they deserve someone trying to use their image, inventing actions for which it is no longer possible to ask permission, except to receive a fair rebuff from relatives?
Addendum
The debut of the first AI actress, Tilly Norwood, provoked a sharp statement from representatives of the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (Sag-Aftra). The latter called Norwood a character created by a computer program that, in its actions, is capable of "devaluing human skill."
Recall
Artificial intelligence can become a tool in the development of education, in particular, to help create individual learning paths.
