    I think you’re right if the goal is to stop them all together.

    But what we can do is stop people from sending them around and saying that it’s true/actually the person.

    Once they’ve turned it from a art project into a weapon, it should have similar consequences to “revenge porn.”

      I would think this would be covered by libel, slander, defamation type laws. The crime is basically lying about a persons actions and character.

      I don’t know how strong the laws are on the topic but I feel this falls under harassment or libel. In most cases this will cause emotional distress and harm to a person’s reputation. If you’re trying to show off your AI skills you can use a subject that isn’t real or depict a real person wearing clothes. This is clearly an attack in my mind.
