It appears that the NYC Comic Con guideline is "Skimpy costumes are permitted though concessions to accuracy are needed if skimpy to the point of negligible coverage i.e. less than typical swimwear."
It is, of course, up to the enforcer, but I would evaluate the Nonon cosplayer as "less than typical swimwear", and the Conan cosplayer to be about the same as typical swimwear. Some skin-colored underlayer would've made it more safe.
I guess what feels off to me is that the generative AI itself does nothing of the sort; the corporations creating the product AI models do.
There are already attempts to make generative AI models that are trained exclusively on data that was licensed for it. I imagine some people would still like to push regulation against companies producing those models, though I am not one of them.
I'd like to decouple the arguments of "this use of technology is bad, because it (devalues human works / takes away jobs / ...)" from "the corporations train their generative AI models in an unethical manner".
