One interesting outcome of this lawsuit, whether it's successful or not, is that any future sort of artwork like this will be produced with GAN-based technology such as https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/ https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/. Why risk questions of human consent when humans can be taken out of the loop? Someone might even monetize it by running a GAN service that, for a fee, hashes all an image's GAN inputs plus a snapshot of the code and publishes the hash in an Ethereum block to prove that (1) the image really was produced synthetically, and (2) it was produced no later than a certain timestamp. TODO: include keyword "NFT" for maximum hype.
