Not that I support people's likeness being used without their consent, but how is banning something related to AI going to resolve this problem?

I can draw an illustration right now that uses someone's likeness without their consent that they may not like so much - who is stopping me? So why are we trying to stop AI?

Seems like an issue to address on another layer/level. Or a veiled attempt to control something for other reasons under convenient cover.

Their lawyer, if your depiction is covered by personality rights and the situation is significant enough to pursue damages. This is pretty much never going to be the case with an individual drawing (especially if only available non-commercially), but there are plenty of examples of people winning or settling for substantial sums after, for example, their likeness was used to advertise something without their consent.

Because a bunch of companies are trying to launder various legal liabilities (copyright, personality rights, etc) through the claim of 'it was just training data'.

Seems to me the focus is too much on the tool. You don't blame adobe for people photoshopping a celebs head on a naked body.
