I guess this is anticipatory of the technology improving. Deep fakes still look much better than this since most of the image is still real. If the images based on "real" people look like the image at the top, which I imagine they do, it's not much different than drawing a cartoon picture intended to resemble a real person, which for now is still legal, at least in the US, provided you don't actually profit off of it (why some video game sports have to use intentionally generic players even though they don't look realistic anyway). If the concern is people might believe any of these people are really doing the things in the generated art, though, that is premature. We don't know how long it will take to get past this uncanny valley, but there is still a hell of a gap. That "woman" at the top has no pores, no lines in her skin, appears to be growing head hair from her arm, has three fingers on her left hand, has two left feet, the big toe is on the wrong side of both feet, she has six toes on one foot and four on the other, she has an extra heel popping out of the front of her ankle on the right foot. This is still way behind even a hand-drawn cartoon in terms of realism.
