Dolly Parton's Sister Urges Public to Stop Sharing AI-Generated Tributes
Family member says fabricated songs, images and videos circulating online since the singer's death are causing distress.
A sister of the late singer Dolly Parton has appealed to the public to stop creating and sharing AI-generated content depicting the star, according to the BBC.
Since Parton's death in late August, dozens of AI-generated songs, images and videos have appeared online, the BBC reported.
The family member described the material as "AI garbage" and asked that it be taken down, according to the report.
The BBC did not specify the exact platforms where the content has circulated or the total volume of material identified so far.
The appeal reflects broader concerns raised by families of public figures about the use of generative artificial intelligence tools to recreate the likeness or voice of deceased individuals without consent.
