Should AI duplication of people (deep fakes, stable diffusion, ect) be considered identity theft?

Opinion
If the purpose is to trick people into thinking that the person copied is doing something, then yeah. You're presenting an identity that isn't yours for the purposes of fraud.
Comment
If they're used to create obscene images or for commercial purposes, definitely. However if someone decides to generate a bunch of images of me that aren't obscene and keeps them for their private purposes, I'm not too bothered.
Concern
Whether or not we can stop deepfakes from being made, there should be better laws allowing you to get fakes taken down from major websites
Response
I don't know if it counts under the current definition of identity theft, but appropriating someone's likeness without their consent and passing it off as them (ie, not a parody) is wrong in my eyes.
Brainstorming
I think it should likely go under parody/satire/and slander/defamation rules unless it is genuinely used to say 'make a fake ID' or in other ways gain financially from the fake. That said I think slander and defamation rules need enforced more uniformly and consistently.
