But that's exactly my point - it's reasonable to expect Christian Bale to 1. agree to this, 2. expect compensation if he does, 3. take legal action if he doesn't agree but someone does it anyway, 4. have people who make these face criminal charges if he gets deepfaked into some kind of child porn. You have to be a hardcore libertarian to argue for less regulation around this.
I can also understand parents of teenagers argue for more regulation - we've got enough teen suicides as is and I don't see how this tech helps with that. I can see plenty of ways it makes it worse.
But all of the above is just not a thing if the generated person doesn't exist and is hardly similar to anyone alive.
A substantial part of the model-sharing site Civitai's available content is models or LoRAs based entirely on specific people (protected by personality rights, depending on jurisdiction) or characters (usually protected by copyright and often by trademark).
For a more-or-less work-safe example, here's one made to specifically reproduce Christian Bale's appearance as Patrick Bateman: https://civitai.com/models/8476
