Good. I’m not a lawyer but “knowingly” seems to be a central point here. Does an AI image generator “know” it’s being asked to make a nude of Jane Smith? The person asking it certainly does. Does their “artist for hire”?

If this makes it all but illegal for AIs to generate images of people in the general case (e.g. outside a Hollywood studio using it for their own actors per contract), fine. So be it. Nothing of value would be lost.

“Oh no, I can’t add an uncanny valley picture to my blog” is a small price to pay for “I can’t get deepfakes of Taylor Swift anymore”.

I’m usually far on the other side of things like that, like Congress’s endless requests to make cell phones detect nudity in text messages. I guess it’s mainly that I don’t see value in AI generated pictures of humans. Having that capability hasn’t improved anything that I can see.
