  • Zelda Williams pleads for people to stop AI-generated videos of Robin Williams
    October 12, 2025, 2:05 AM EDT. Zelda Williams urged fans to stop sending AI-generated videos of her father, Robin Williams. In an Instagram Story, she asked for decency, saying she won't engage and that the clips are not what he would have wanted. He died in 2014, and his family has discussed Lewy body dementia as a contributing factor. The plea follows her earlier criticism of AI voice recreation as 'personally disturbing' and part of a broader debate about using deceased likenesses. It comes as a trend to animate real people and reuse their voices for content. The issue has also touched the industry, with SAG-Aftra arguing that an AI actor is a computer-generated character, not a real actor, underscoring concerns about training data and the ethical implications of AI in media.

A post on X features a prominent open square that sparked speculation about a new game, with fans hoping for a Wolfenstein return. The studio previously described Wolfenstein as a trilogy, and head Jerk Gustafsson has said they're not done with the Nazi-slasher series.

Either way, the chatter underscores the enduring appeal of MachineGames' action-adventure lineup and the larger video games industry push for new installments.
