    If (as it seems) the point is not impersonation but damage to the person’s honor/image, where exactly is the line?

    If realism is the determining factor, what about a hyperrealistic human work? And if it is under human interpretation how realistic it should be, could a sketch be included?

      A sketch would probably not convince anyone that the subject consensually participated in sex acts that never occurred.

      Good question. The bill doesn’t define realistic. There’s no condition that it should fool anyone.

      This definitely goes beyond AI and includes photoshops, 3d renders and any other digital art. I think it would also include hand drawn images, once they are digitized, EG by photographing them on a phone. Always provided that the depictions are in some way “realistic”.
