Hell no! When the world misplaced Robin Williams in 2014, we misplaced one of the vital distinctive and defining voices. However now we have to be grateful that his works dwell on as a result of we’ll endlessly have Genie and Mork and Mrs. Doubtfire and Sean Maguire and on and on. However his Mrs. Doubtfire co-star Matthew Lawrence has a special imaginative and prescient solely, looking for to convey again Robin Williams’ voice by way of using AI.
Speaking at San Diego Comedian-Con, Lawrence provided a sizzling take about what may very well be finished with AI concerning Robin Williams. “I’d love — now, clearly, with the respect and with the okay from his household — however I’d like to do one thing actually particular together with his voice as a result of I do know for a era, that voice is simply so iconic…It’s not simply the truth that I knew him and labored with him and so it’s in my head — it’s in everyone’s head. And it could be so cool.”
However “cool” doesn’t equate to necessity – and even pondering that is “cool” is extremely subjective. Now, Lawrence isn’t pushing to bodily convey again Robin Williams courtesy of AI however somewhat appears to be suggesting solely his voice. However even nonetheless, all of it simply appears so unethical and gross, even when Lawrence does have the perfect intentions. Moreover, it appears extremely unlikely that his household would log off on any such endeavor, particularly since Williams’ daughter Zelda has been actively against the use of artificial intelligence with regard to her father.
Lawrence stated he obtained the thought from watching an previous business that Robin Williams did, including, “It’s kinda like this very up to date, fashionable, virtually type of foreshadowing of what’s happening business that he did, the place he did this computerized voiceover. And it at all times caught with me. After which, throughout his passing, with the AI popping out, I’m like, ‘Man, he’s gotta be the voice of AI. He’s gotta be the voice in one thing.’ So yeah, I’d love to do this….It might be so cool. I’m telling you.” Please, for the concord of all issues holy, cease pondering that is cool, Matthew Lawrence.
