The AI Resurrection Horror: How Sora and Deepfake Tech Desecrate the Dead and Infuriate Families

JUST IN: Dead celebrities are going viral on TikTok thanks to Sora 2 whether they like it or not.

In a chilling display of technological overreach, OpenAI’s Sora video generation app has sparked widespread outrage by enabling users to create deepfake videos of deceased celebrities, effectively dragging the departed back into the spotlight without consent. As detailed in recent reports, families of icons like Robin Williams, George Carlin, and Malcolm X are reeling from these AI-generated abominations, which exploit their loved ones’ likenesses for cheap thrills or malicious intent. Zelda Williams, daughter of the beloved comedian, took to social media to beg creators to stop, calling it a “dumb” and disrespectful waste that violates decency. Kelly Carlin echoed this sentiment, labeling the deepfakes “overwhelming and depressing,” while a daughter of Malcolm X decried them as “deeply disrespectful and hurtful.” OpenAI’s half-hearted response—promising to work with families of “recently deceased” figures—does little to stem the tide, as videos of historical giants like Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and Martin Luther King Jr. continue to proliferate. This isn’t innovation; it’s a moral catastrophe, emblematic of Big Tech’s godless pursuit of profit over human dignity, leaving conservatives to demand accountability in an era where AI runs amok.
Sora 2 quietly brought back the ability to generate videos of deceased celebrities but with a twist. Rights holders can no longer just opt out entirely; they can now steer what kind of content people can make with their stars.

Conservatives have long warned that unchecked AI development, fueled by leftist Silicon Valley elites, would lead to ethical nightmares like this. Sora, which skyrocketed to the top of Apple’s App Store upon release, amplifies deepfake risks by democratizing high-quality video manipulation, allowing anyone to fabricate falsehoods or harass the vulnerable. Experts highlight its potential for bullying, incitement, and misinformation, with no built-in safeguards for truth or respect. The Motion Picture Association has slammed OpenAI for shifting the burden onto rights holders, insisting that copyright laws must be enforced to protect creators from this digital desecration. But as families grieve anew, it’s clear that Sora and similar tools represent a broader assault on privacy, legacy, and the sanctity of death—values conservatives hold dear in a culture increasingly divorced from tradition. This isn’t the first time AI has trampled on the graves of the famous. Take the infamous George Carlin AI comedy special, where an artificial version of the late satirist was conjured to spew modern commentary, prompting a swift lawsuit from his estate. The family argued that this unauthorized resurrection violated Carlin’s publicity rights and diluted his authentic legacy, a sentiment echoed in conservative circles as a blatant example of Big Tech’s hubris.

Still trying to figure out which likenesses #Sora2 will or won’t allow. It doesn’t seem fair to be able to do this to a dead guy…

Similarly, Robin Williams’ estate has fought tooth and nail against AI recreations, with Zelda Williams publicly decrying the emotional toll of seeing her father’s image manipulated posthumously. These cases underscore a growing trend: AI firms like OpenAI prioritize flashy features over ethical boundaries, leaving bereaved relatives to battle for their loved ones’ peace in court. Beyond celebrities, AI deepfakes are wreaking havoc on everyday Americans, fueling scams and exploitation that conservatives attribute to lax regulations under previous administrations. The FBI has warned of a spike in sextortion schemes, where innocent photos—often of minors—are transformed into explicit deepfakes to extort victims.

This digital predation has escalated dramatically, with perpetrators using tools like Sora to amplify harm. A bipartisan House Task Force on Artificial Intelligence report details how deepfake pornography has expanded beyond stars to target private citizens, creating non-consensual explicit content that devastates lives. Conservatives point to this as evidence of a moral decay enabled by progressive tech giants who censor conservative voices while allowing such abominations to flourish unchecked. Hollywood insiders, often aligned with left-wing causes, are sounding alarms too—albeit selectively. ‘Frasier’ star Kelsey Grammer, a vocal conservative, has voiced deep concerns over AI’s manipulative potential, warning that it blurs the lines between reality and fabrication in ways that threaten artistic integrity and personal rights.

Grammer’s fears resonate amid reports of AI deepfakes mimicking public figures to spread deceit, making it harder to trust politicians, celebrities, or institutions in an already polarized world. This erosion of truth is particularly insidious, as deepfakes can fabricate scandals or resurrect the dead to endorse causes they never supported, twisting legacies for ideological gain.The pornographic underbelly of AI deepfakes adds another layer of outrage, with sites dedicated to non-consensual content shutting down only after massive backlash—but not before victimizing countless individuals. Conservatives argue this stems from a cultural shift where Big Tech prioritizes “innovation” over family values, allowing algorithms to exploit the vulnerable while suppressing dissenting views on platforms like YouTube or Twitter. The end of acting as we know it? Some say yes, with AI threatening jobs and authenticity in an industry already rife with leftist bias.

Older incidents, like AI-generated deepfakes of Britney Spears or other stars, foreshadowed this crisis, yet regulators dragged their feet under Biden’s watch. What’s needed is a conservative-led crackdown: Strict laws banning unauthorized deepfakes of the deceased, hefty fines for tech companies that enable them, and a return to ethical AI development grounded in Judeo-Christian principles. President Trump’s administration could spearhead this, building on his past efforts to rein in Big Tech’s excesses. As families like the Williamses and Carlins fight back, their plight highlights the human cost of Silicon Valley’s god-playing. Sora isn’t just a tool—it’s a weapon in the war on decency, upsetting the living by disrespecting the dead. Until we curb this madness, more hearts will break, more legacies tarnish, and more fortunes will be made on the backs of the bereaved.
