I'm not sure I would go as far as to ban anthropomorphism, but basically everything else you said I agree with. We should just blanket ban computers impersonating people - this should include deepfakes and similar. The only exception is for cinematic productions, with actors who have pen-and-paper signed consents. As dumb and over-regulated as it sounds, it really isn't that crazy, and could have positive side-affects. It's one of those rules that really just enables us to trap bad behavior easier. It's like lying on a bank document, it's illegal because it helps law enforcement get a foothold into investigating more serious issues like laundering. Impersonating a person laws would really just helps us get a better grip to investigate phishing or other frauds, as well as address anti-consumer behavior. It would also help with false advertising issues - "a computer cannot make promises like selling you a car for $1, but a person can. If a computer pretends to be a person, its hallucinated promises are legally binding, and the owner is liable". Same benefit applies to spam and fraud calls - simply pretending to be a person is enough of a crime to get a warrant to investigate the actual fraud.
