    Seriously. Yes.

    I have no idea why anyone would do this.

    Quote of Zelda from the article:

    “You’re not making art, you’re making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else’s throat hoping they’ll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.”

    Perfect description.

    The thing I find especially stupid about this is that there are so many hundreds hours of footage of actual Robin Williams out there already. Why would you want to fake more?

    And why would they be sending them to his daughter?

    Why the fuck are people so goddamn creepy?

    I imagine they're expecting some beautiful moment where she messages back "Thank you for allowing me to see my dad again! This is so beautiful and you're a saint for doing this for me!"

    An astounding amount of people are incapable of processing context. And are likely just layering vaguely similar events of people appreciating artistic renditions of the deceased without understanding how profoundly they screwed the pooch.

  • What I find most odd about this is that they don't consider that people can do it themselves. If I wanted AI-generated anything, from a video of a duck riding a bike for whatever reason to some weeb shit as a profile picture, I’d just do it myself. Yet these types of people "create" it and then post it everywhere, so it has the worst of both worlds: it is neither exactly what I was looking for, nor is it power efficient, copyright-compliant, or looks any good.

    If they have fun making their computer spit out odd stuff, then if we ignore the power draw and copyright issues, sure, do whatever. But why post it as if anyone else cared, when those other people could just have their computers (or, realistically, a big corpo's computers) make something even closer to what they actually want?

    If you do this, in any context, I hate you and want you to suffer. This is actually braindead, deplorable behavior.

    I kinda get why people might want to make some AI vids of the dude, but why in the blue fuck are you sending them to his fucking daughter??? "Gross" isnt the word Id use. Id think of something a lot more NSFW for that particular gaggle of cave brained cunts.

    Damn, she has a gift with words, and is using it for a good thing. Glad she learned good lessons from her parents.

    AI slop is pretty much harassment.

    Those fucking dickheads looking for validation.

    I’d rather send her Link memes (since she’s named after that Zelda). She might find it amusing but is probably tired of them by now.

    Is this gif cycling faster than Neil Armstrong on purpose, or is shit broken

    Fine for me on voyager and I think you meant Lance Armstrong, but now I’m picturing Neil frantically pedaling on a stationary bike somewhere in a NASA facility while the scientists keep telling him he has to go faster

    It isn't on desktop. Sounds like typical app weirdness.

    I have noticed that occasionally with animated images in Thunder, and I have not been able to narrow down what about the file causes it. Opening this post in both Thunder and Voyager, it looks fine in Voyager but looks like Louie Armstrong on Thunder.

    The reduced friction to create something enables this sort of mindless interaction.

    Streisand effect may play against her, unfortunately

    That's not really that effect, but more of a stalker problem. Why would anyone think she wants to see video of her dad saying things he didn't say? And guaranteed that the comedy being done is nowhere near his level.

    Robin Williams was a comedic giant with shoes no AI could ever hope to fill.

    Getting AI of him would be like wanting name brand Nutella, and then going to Family Dollar, only to find a knock off brand, but then finding out Family Dollar doesn't even stock the knock off brand. They only have the Ali Express version of the knock off brand.

    I think I'd rather just watch Mork and Mindy with the real Robin Williams.

    some people did, they are trolls with bad taste, now more of them will be aware of this target, thus the Streisand effect may occur, but i hope to be wrong

    Zelda is not trying to keep people from knowing about something. She's telling them that what they're already doing sucks. If people decide to troll and do it more, it's not the Streisand Effect, it's just them being assholes.

    Why not? He may have moved on to his next life, but his work persists. All the recorded kind, hilarious, creative things he wrote and performed... He would still want us to enjoy them, right? And I personally think that still continues to improve the world, even with him no longer in it...
