Robin Williams' daughter, Zelda Williams, has shared a furious message to "delusional" fans about her late father.
The 37-year-old spoke out on Monday (September 21) after what she described as a "supposedly private video" of the late Hollywood star began circulating online.
According to her, the video is "clearly AI" and does not offer a "particularly convincing" recreation of her father, who died in August 2014 at the age of 63.
"Anyone who claims to be a fan who believes it clearly listened to his movies on mute because that voice is robotic and terrible," she wrote on X. "That said, a human made a robot create it, and to you I say: leave him out of your delusional bulls*** and let him rest.
"If you cannot make your case without making a dead man make it more convincing for you, then tell me: who's the one manipulating the public thru media now?", she added.
Williams was best known for films including Mrs. Doubtfire, Jumanji, and Good Will Hunting.
In her X post, Zelda slammed the state of social media and the online users she believes are being fooled by artificial content.
"I hate this cesspool of an app," she continued. "It's mostly bots and people willingly being duped by bots at this point so not sure why I feel the need to come back to clarify, but I love him, so I will. Just because he's gone does not mean he's now your puppet. Have some shame."
This isn't the first time Zelda has publicly pushed back against AI recreations of her father.
Back in October 2025, she pleaded on Instagram: "Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad.
"Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, I'll restrict and move on," she added.
Zelda has also spoken about the wider issue of artificial intelligence being used to recreate performers without their consent.
"I've witnessed for YEARS how many people want to train these models to create/ recreate actors who cannot consent, like Dad," Zelda said.
She continued: "This isn't theoretical, it is very very real. I've already heard AI used to get his 'voice' to say whatever people want and while I find it personally disturbing, the ramifications go far beyond my own feelings."
She said living actors "deserve a chance to create characters with their choices, to voice cartoons, to put their HUMAN effort and time into the pursuit of performance".
"These recreations are, at their very best, a poor facsimile of greater people, but at their worst, a horrendous Frankensteinian monster, cobbled together from the worst bits of everything this industry is, instead of what it should stand for," she concluded.
