Wouldn't normal fraud laws apply quite well. I'm not sure AI materially changes that kind of thing. Perhaps the scale of it? You could easily rack up 1000 charges an hour. I think a couple millennia of consecutive prison sentences is enough.

Depicting someone is not at all illegal.

Fraud would only be if you were using the likeness under false pretenses (such as claiming that it is the real person) to cause another person to act to their detriment in some way.

Depicting someone isn't a problem. The only harm comes from actual fraud. Tying to pass a fake as real.

Nobody will think George Carlin made a new special for Youtube. The video in fact explains how that's not the case. It'll be very hard to show any actual harm caused by it, beyond some morbid bad taste.

I am gedaliyah and I approve of this message.

This is the real me. Can anyone who likes me cash app me a few dollars. I’m broke from all the child support.

Oh, also, if you like Harry Potter, I will punch you in the face if I see you. I’m warning you, you better strike first if you’re wearing a Dumbledork t-shirt.

gedaliyah, signing off. Pm me for cash app details.
