Artificial intelligence-generated viral videos of deceased celebrities are spreading across the Internet.
The clips, which show deceased celebrities such as 2Pac, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley interacting in real time, hit social media this week.
In one clip, 2Pac takes a selfie video with Kobe and Elvis, asking them to say “Havana,” which is likely a reference to the baseless conspiracy theory that the rapper is still alive and hiding in Cuba. Another video appears All eyes are on me Artist races the late NBA star.
2Pac was also seen chatting with Jackson, Bruce Lee and Notorious B.I.G. in separate clips circulating on social media.
“They need to regulate this quickly… making AI videos and using people’s likeness can go left fast… people shouldn’t be able to monetize it either,” one user wrote.
Another wrote: “Something about this seems weird to me. I feel weird about random people making AI videos of me after I die and portraying me in a certain way, but maybe that’s just me 😅.”
Despite some outcry over the ethics and implications of the AI-generated videos, Danity Kane’s Aubrey O’Day said she saw the clips in a positive light.
“[W]child. “It warmed my heart to see instances of resolution or solidarity, which would never happen, but allowed me to imagine it,” O’Day wrote earlier this week.
The controversial videos arrived before OpenAI made a major policy change regarding its AI video tool, Sora 2.
according to GizmodoOpenAI recently reversed Sora’s initial copyright policy. Previously, users seemed to be able to use copyrighted content unless the user opted out.
After backlash and a statement from the Motion Picture Association condemning the tool for possible copyright infringement, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced a move to a subscription model. This change will allow copyright holders to decide how their characters and content are used.
As he pointed out 404 mediasocial media platforms like Reddit and X have seen backlash from frustrated users because they can no longer create short videos featuring copyrighted characters. One user on the OpenAI subreddit claimed that this option is “the only reason this app is so fun.” Meanwhile, another user wrote: “Moral policing and leftist ideology are destroying America’s AI industry.”
Recently, Robin Williams’ daughter, Zelda, asked fans to “stop sending AI-powered videos” of her late father.
“Stop thinking I want to see him or that I will understand him. I don’t and I won’t,” the 36-year-old said. “If you’re just trying to troll me, and I’ve seen worse, I’ll just put a hold on it and move on. But please, if you have any decency, just stop doing this to him and me, and even to everyone, just stop. It’s stupid, it’s a waste of time and energy, and believe me, that’s not what he wants.”
Bernice King, daughter of Martin Luther King Jr., agreed with Zelda’s message, writing: “I agree regarding my father. Please stop.”
