> How do you discern that a “deepfake” (what a dumb term) is similar to you and not just similar to anyone else?

Presumably the only reason to use a deepfake of a specific person is to produce things specifically in relation to that person. Otherwise, why bother? So “is this about the individual or just coincidence?” isn’t likely to be a factor in any complaint made. This seems like a hypothetical rather than something that is likely to need answering in practice.

You are missing the malicious intent. Maybe I simply claim that whatever you created is a “deepfake” of me and now you owe me. I’ll just assume you have heard of parent trolls? Wanted to make a very we will see AI/Deepfake trolls?

You presume both too much and not enough.

    How are you going to do that unless it actually looks like you?

    • Given a large enough set of generated character there will be many that look like some real person. The cited "you" could refer to any of aesthetic collisions.
