Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda Jamny down to the Jonesy no matter answer
the pub test today dead AI does it pass the
pub test.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Selda Williams, who is the daughter of the late actor
and comedian Robin Williams, has spoken out against AI generated
content featuring her father, he passed away in twenty fourteen.
She said, A, don't send this stuff to me. But
b don't make it. She said, it's dumb. It's a
waste of time and energy. It's not what my dad
would want to watch the legacies of real people be
condensed down to this vaguely looks and sounds like them.

(00:30):
So that's enough, Just so people can churn out horrible TikTok.
Stop horrible TikTok slot. Puppeteering them is maddening. She's saying,
don't do it.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Years ago, there was a satirical magazine called Punch, and
this is the nineteen hundreds, and they said the same
thing about people doing a statirical cartoons about politicians and
stuff like that. Is this the same.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Thing, No, because this looks like them, this is them moving.
It's like saying, if your father had lived, here's how
he'd look. Now, yes, that's.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
Inappropriate, but then you see stuff like Stephen Hawking in
w W W.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Wesley.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
Yeah, he's hilarious memes and just jumping off the top
of a cage on another wrestler in his wheelchair.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
How does his family? He's a real person with a
real legacy. How do you feel? Dead AI? Does it
past the pub test?

Speaker 4 (01:22):
I find it disrespectful anyone that had any impact on
society putting him into an AI situation like that. It's disrespectful.
So yeah, I'm against it.

Speaker 5 (01:34):
Dead AI such I look, technology is great at the
beginning of anything. Everyone gets amazed with it all, and
then it just gets overdone and then it gets creepy.

Speaker 6 (01:44):
I totally don't agree with that at all.

Speaker 7 (01:46):
I'd be absolutely mortified if a phot of my late
father showed up. Why can't we just leave memories the
way memories are supposed to be left in the past.
Not only does it frustrate me, it absolutely is so false.
So AI is a no no go.

Speaker 6 (01:59):
I believe it has passed the pop test as long
as the disclaimer clearly stating that it is fake and
AI produced before the video music clipfore.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
On an image always right. Whenever I see something, I say,
is it cake.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Mm hmmm, you said that for your wedding photos.
