Zelda Williams, daughter of late actor Robin Williams, has a poignant message for her father’s fans.
He wrote in a post on his Instagram story on Monday, “Please stop sending me Dad’s AI video. Stop believing that I want to see it or I will understand it. I don’t understand and I will not understand.” “If you have a little decency, then stop doing this with him and me, even with everyone, full break. It’s foolish, it’s a waste of time and energy, and trust me, it’s not what he wants.”
It is probably not a coincidence that Williams was motivated to post this just a few days after the release of Sora 2 video models of OpenAI and Sora Social app Own deepfackHis friends, and some cartoon characters.
It also includes dead people, who seem appropriate because it is appropriate It is not illegal to insult the deceasedAccording to the Student Press Law Center.
Sora will not let you make videos of living people – unless it belongs to you or a friend, who has allowed you to use their equality (or “cameo,” as OpenAI calls it). But these boundaries do not apply to the dead, which may mostly arise without any obstruction. The app, which is still available only through the invitation, is filled with videos of the late celebrities such as Martin Luther King Jr., Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Richard Nixon as well as late celebrities such as Bob Ross, John Lennon, Alex Trebeck and Yes, Robin Williams.
It is not clear how OpenAI sets the limit to prepare videos of the dead. For example, Sora 2, former President Jimmy Carter, who died in 2024, or Michael Jackson, who died in 2009, would not produce, although according to Techchunch’s tests, it made videos with a similarity of Robin Williams, who died in 2014. And while the cameo facility of OpenAI allows people to set the instructions how they would appear in the video made by others – the railing that came in response Sora’s early criticism -There is no such thing for the mother. I can bet that if Richard Nixon can see the deepfake made by me while advocating the abolition of police, he must have been rolling in his grave.
OpenAI did not respond to the request of Techchunch to comment on the permission of deepfking of the dead. However, it is possible that deepfking company of dead celebrities like Williams is under the acceptable practices of the company; Legal example Shows The company will probably not be held responsible for the defamation of the deceased.

Williams wrote, “It is enough to see the real people’s heritage ‘it looks like them and it seems, so it is limited to see’ so that other people can staging the terrible ticket -shock puppet puppets, insanity.”
They accuse Openai critics company AdoptThis is the reason that on release, Sora flooded with AI clips of copyright characters like Peter Griffin and Pikachu. CEO Sam Altman originally stated that Hollywood studios and agencies would need to get out clearly if they do not want their IP Sora-Journalized Video. The Motion Picture Association has already called Openai to take action on this issue, Announcement A statement said that “well -established copyright law protects the rights of the creators and applies here.” He has since Said that the company will reverse this situation.
Sora, perhaps, is the most dangerous deep-s) AI model available for people, given how realistic its outputs are. Other platforms like XAI are behind, but even less railings than Sora, which makes it possible to produce pornographic materials. Deepfeck of real peopleAs other companies are catching OpenAI, we will set a terrible example if we consider real people – living or dead – like our personal toy.
