    Don’t paparazzi make plenty of money off of selling unauthorized photos of celebrities? Celebrities can control some uses of their likeness, but not all of them.

      True, though for now paparazzi photos generally are “here’s the celebrity in real life doing [x]” whereas AI is “celebrity never did this thing and we applied their image / voice to it like they did.” Really difficult for celebs to shut down tabloid or fan ai-generated garbage, but I think the bigger issue for them right now is film or music studios just using their likeness to keep the profits churning
