I think these are two different scenarios. If the generated images are kept private it's not too different from previous times. People could draw pictures, glue a head to a magazine page, photoshop things or just imagine stuff before. Sharing deep fakes is new though, I'd say this should be treated much like revenge porn as the damage is similar.

The main problem with gluying stuff to magazine for example was that the result was not that great either and in the end it was not that enticing to do for would be faker. Plus it was obvious it is not you so most people would just laugh it off. But the deepfakes are whole different thing, without proper labeling it can be passed as real you and even if that person does not distribute it, it can be unnerving for some people just to think that someone has their nude photos that look like real thing without their consent and you never know who has those photos. That is why marginalization or ignoring it will be lot more harder than with the old school fakery.
I for one will laugh it off. Wanna see fake naked picture of me and rub one off? Be my guest, I could care less. I might be even flattered. But then there is whole other group, that takes it somewhat seriously. That is why when most social networks started, private profiles were not a thing. But soon, bunch of people started thinking "ewww, I shared bunch of pictures of me online, and now what if someone rubs one off to my fully clothed pictures, how do I counter that, how can we stop those creeps?" Bam, and we got private profiles. But doing something like that now to stop AI gen seems kind of impossible, since the cat is already out of the bag and there is a good chance that person which has online presence of any kind will have at least one mugshot of them somewhere available. And even if not, there are always yearbooks. Or something.
All LLMs do is lower the bar for entry. Fake nudes were a thing long before LLMs, now instead of needing photo or video editing skills you can ask LLM to do it for you.
And the majority of people don't care about privacy until it doesn't affect them negative personally, they put their whole life online for people to see and scrape that data. There is no stopping LLMs now, the time for that was 10+ years ago, but everyone ignored those people that sounded the alarm as privacy nuts or conspiracy theorists...
LLM?

The way "AI" is used lately misrepresents what that truly means. It became a useless buzz word marketing teams are using.

Deepfakes for porn are not the problem.
Deepfakes of media and the propaganda therein, is the real problem.
Does it suck that a person can have their clothed photos turned into porn? Sure, but it's way smaller scale than the mass creation of propaganda that is being done with LLMs. In comparison deepfakes for nudes are practically a non-issue.
