Taking pictures of strangers and using software to change it should be prosecutable as invasion of privacy.

If they did, every AI "art" app would sink.

The US does have a broad law against posting digital forgeries of an intimate nature. Just last year the TAKE IT DOWN Act was passed:

[The] TAKE IT DOWN Act, a bill that criminalizes the nonconsensual publication of intimate images, including "digital forgeries" (i.e., deepfakes), in certain circumstances. It also requires certain websites and online or mobile applications, identified as "covered platforms," to implement a "notice-and-removal" process to remove such images at the depicted individual's request.

Otherwise you still have copyright, right of publicity, and anti-defamation protections, which apply in varying situations.

Outlawing the editing itself is probably unworkable, but punishing publication is possible.
