In an Instagram story, Robin Williams’ daughter wrote: I’ve already heard that the artificial intelligence was using his ‘voice’ to say whatever people wanted, and while I personally find it disturbing, the consequences go far beyond just my feelings.
Robin Williams’ Daughter: Reenactments are, at their best, poor facsimiles of great men
Zelda Williams, who already in 2019 criticized the idea of ”reconstructing” James Dean, who has been dead for almost 70 years in a new film, also wrote that she had seen attempts to use artificial intelligence to replace or recreate actors who could not agree to its use – and so it’s also the case with her father. She criticized the film industry for using AI in this way:
These reconstructions are at best poor facsimiles of great men, but at worst a terrifying Frankenstein’s monster, made up of the worst bits of everything that this industry is and not what it should be.
Tom Hank also exploited by artificial intelligence
The use of AI to replace actors’ work is one of the main bones of contention between producers and actors. The former recently proposed, among other things, that in exchange for a daily wage paid to extras, they could use their image indefinitely to create crowds in subsequent productions. This would significantly impact changes throughout the film industry. Another issue is, for example, the so-called deep fakes in which the face of any selected person can be placed, for example, in erotic scenes.
Famous actors are also concerned about how technology will affect their situation. It wasn’t just Williams’ distinctive voice that was used without his consent. Tom Hanks last week warned that his image was being used without his consent to promote dental care plans through artificial intelligence.
