Given that AI images and media can't be copyrighted, does the nominal "subject" have any recourse?

There's the matter of consent, and it might legally be along the same lines of giving someone a roofie so they don't remember in the morning.

That just means the person that used AI to make something can't claim those rights for the generated content -- other laws still apply.

Everyone else still retain rights to their likeness in most places, and I'd imagine that still stands in this case.

Historically, I know that a big way that the dissemination of these sort of images was stopped was by using copyright law (because they're using the likeness of the subject). I'm worried how that will work if there's no copyright law to fall back in.
