Bernice King, the daughter of Martin Luther King MLK Jr., wants the AI-generated photos and videos of her late father to cease.
Earlier this week, Zelda Williams, the daughter of late actor and comedian Robin Williams, wrote in an Instagram Story about being offended that she was being tagged in and sent AI content of her father. The Academy Award winner died by suicide in 2014.
In a tweet on Tuesday, Bernice King agreed with Zelda's message, writing, "I concur concerning my father. Please stop."
Earlier this year, Bernice called out rapper Sexyy Red for posting an AI-generated photo of herself dancing with MLK in a club on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
The image angered the daughter of the civil rights leader, who called the post "intentionally distasteful, dishonoring, deplorable, and disrespectful" to her father's legacy.
Sexyy apologized and deleted the post.
As content made with artificial intelligence continues to fester, there are looming worries about visuals that zombify deceased celebrities.
