I think there is a significant difference between an AI "cloning" you versus an AI cloning your work. (I'm not saying that the latter is not a problem in need of regulation, just that it is different enough to warrant separate legislation -- which I expect to arrive soon-ish.)

Cloning your work is protected, that's just copyright. Similarly you should already be protected from people claiming a work is by you. This law is similar in that vein in that it protects the use of your image which implicitly assumes your involvement.

Using ideas of style in a work that can neither substitute an existing work nor claims to be the work of another is a different issue entirely.

You're right, I shouldn't have used cloning for the work part, though I rather meant closely replicating an artists style through the use of AI.
