The issue with laws attempting to deal with this issue, is that they they will likely be written vague enough to harm the art community, and they will place the onus on companies to damage their models instead of targeting the people who do use the models for harm.

The dataset used to train the model needs to be sourced ethically, just like the supply chain used by a physical manufacturer needs to be audited to ensure a supplier isn't using slave labour in a country too remote to attract much attention over the issue. In this case, I'd say the companies need to either dilute their datasets further, using fewer samples from any given person to the point that AI can't replicate the appearance of a specific person or the style of an artist except by improbable coincidence or extreme genericity, or get consent from each person who (or whose work) appears in the training data.
Though this is deepfakes, which I think involve users applying additional training material specifically of the target, so that the AI over-fits to that specific output. If the original AI was ethically/respectfully produced, then the people responsible for the additional rounds of training ought to be the ones at fault, at least as much as the prompt-writer themselves (assuming they're not the same individual!). For that, the only good solution I can think of is legislation.

Using data that readily and publicly accessible on the internet that was uploaded to the internet (many of which signed their right away to be collected in a dataset) to train a dataset is no where close to using slave labor this is a horrible analogy.

When it comes to consumer behaviour, people flocking to the cheaper product and actively saying "I don't care about the supply chain! Give me my cheap phone/AI art" while others keep trying to draw attention to unethical practices? It's a very close parallel. Maybe the harm feels less tangible when spread out over orders of magnitude more people, or when you're so accustomed to abusive ToS conditions giving away your rights, but it's still there.
