Dumb question: how is this handled if they weren’t AI generated images, like an actor/model wearing fake Buddhist garb playing in a rock band?

I realize AI allows this to scale, but it seems the legal framework should already have a mechanism to deal with this?

From the article, it sounds like this is already being handled through an existing legal framework. That it involves AI just reads like headline bait and maybe a dinner table discussion starter for how these could easily ramp up and become harder to trace.

Not just headline bait, because the economics have changed: a Midjourney subscription is much cheaper than hiring an actor, costuming him as a monk, and photographing him on a rented motorcycle.

Or somebody goes to a carneval as an monk ..
