The copyright issue is actually something that came up with non-synthetic, non-consensual pornography because, say, if one of your partners took a nude picture of you, you don't own that picture. And that was already just a huge loophole that... legislators have spent about a decade trying to make laws that meaningfully address nonconsensual pornography that's not AI-generated.

And the frameworks they've come up with are getting ported over to AI-generated imagery, that a lot of it is about, all right, this is harassment, this is obscenity, this is some other kind of speech restriction that is allowable. A lot of nonconsensual pornography is a kind of sexual harassment thing.

that we can find ways to wall outside protected speech, and that we can target it in a way where it's not going to necessarily take down huge amounts of other speech, the way that, say, just banning all AI-generated images would.

There's California, New York is another, there's Texas. At the federal level, there have been attempts to work this into, it's not a criminal statute, but there is a federal civil right to sue if you have non-synthetic, non-consensual point of view.

And there have been attempts to work AI into that and say, all right, well, it's not a crime, but it's a thing that you can sue for under, I believe it is the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act. And then there have been attempts to, like you mentioned, just tie all of this into a big federal likeness law.

So likeness laws are a mostly state-level thing that says, all right, you can't take Taylor Swift and make her look like she's advertised your Instant Pot. And so there have been some attempts to make a federal version of that. But likeness laws are really tricky because they're so much broader that they end up catching things like parody and satire and commentary.

And they're just, I think, much riskier than trying to create really targeted, specific use laws.
