What the kind of moral imbecile thinks sending someone an AI-generated version of her own father is a good thing?

Oh. Sloppers. Yes. Of course. They already left their morals by the door to even use the plagiarism parrots.

[-] Tyrq@lemmy.dbzer0.com 69 points 1 week ago

There are very sick people interacting with ai as if it's god. The problem goes deeper than slop

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago

Seriously. Yes.

I have no idea why anyone would do this.

[-] Black616Angel@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 week ago

Because some people actually think that interacting with ai recreations of your loved ones is a good way to cope with their loss.

Like some people lost their shit, when GPT4 was released, because it killed their significant other.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

That is positively ghoulish.

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?

[-] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 63 points 1 week ago

And why would they be sending them to his daughter?

Why the fuck are people so goddamn creepy?

[-] qarbone@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

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.

Even if it wasn't AI, sending someone a lifelike representation of a loved one who's passed, doing things they never did is really creepy.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

You're in the right community! Welcome!

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 50 points 1 week ago

We stan Zelda Williams, any creep who does this to her gets the wall

[-] Dogiedog64@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Saledovil@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago

About as respectful to the deceased as desecrating the corpse.

[-] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago

Even suicide won't get you away from this hell.

[-] NerdyKeith@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

She has a point, jeeze respect the woman's boundaries

[-] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

The average human is so fucking stupid.

[-] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 22 points 1 week ago

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

[-] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

AI slop is pretty much harassment.

Those fucking dickheads looking for validation.

[-] paraphrand@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

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

[-] cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] yakko@feddit.uk 6 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Tyrq@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago
[-] yakko@feddit.uk 4 points 1 week ago

I wish you could see it. It's not right at all lmao

Also AI Christopher Hitchens is equally stupid...

It is a massive insult to anyone's memory.

[-] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Yah, stop that, it is gross!

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

Streisand effect may play against her, unfortunately

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 27 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Why would anyone think she wants to see video of her dad saying things he didn't say?

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

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

That's not how the Streisand Effect works.

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

would've been more useful if you described why, pretty sure could've be achieved with a short phrase

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

[-] Konstant@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

She should sue AI companies for using her dad image.

[-] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

MLK's family said the same thing. People really don't have any basic decency anymore.

[-] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 week ago

Alas they often deport the ones who do.

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Who would think that would be appreciated?

[-] Saledovil@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago

People who suck at being human.

[-] joel_feila@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

This is so fucked up, digital necrophilia is a better word for this ai induced hell

[-] answersplease77@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

they sent AI sextapes? i hope not. that's gross indeed

[-] Bonus@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Jesus, I can't even go back and watch any of his stuff to this day.

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 18 points 1 week ago

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...

[-] Bonus@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

I formed a pretty intense attachment to him the moment he first appeared on Happy Days.

I wasn't a fanboy for life or anything. He just had an ability to convince me he was genuinely a beautiful human being.

[-] Tower@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

I had watched reruns of Mork & Mindy when I was little, but didn't know that it was a spinoff from Happy Days. This nugget led me to watching this, and it was amazing. Thanks.

[-] Bonus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I learned the phrase spinoff from that happening. I guess I started to love comedians because of all that too. Refuge from the 70s for a 9 year old, I guess.

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Black Mirror saw this coming.
