    Given that AI images and media can’t be copyrighted, does the nominal “subject” have any recourse?

      Not sure about other places, but here in Brazil creating a fake nude of somebody and distributing it would be illegal

        In the US a photoshopped nude would be copyrightable. But courts here have said that AI generated content doesn’t get the benefits of copyright.

          Not being able to apply for copyright doesn’t prevent you from getting charged for infringement.

          “I made it with AI, it’s not copyrightable” is the 2023 version of uploading a show to Youtube and adding in the details “I do not claim Copyright on this material. All Copyrights belong to their respective holders”. It’s still illegal even if you don’t claim to own it.

          Don’t only think of copyright. People don’t copyright CSAM, but they go to jail for making/distributing it.

      There’s the matter of consent, and it might legally be along the same lines of giving someone a roofie so they don’t remember in the morning.
