It sucks, but it is the price of selling one's self to the public spotlight.
Much like internet culture has taken decades to develop some basic sense of civility, it will take a long time for these tools to normalize with a morality culture of some kind. I figure, the best course is always treat others like you want to be treated. Most people are not trying to hurt anyone, they just haven't thought through the consequences of what they are doing.
What we really need in the short term is a path of least resistance to make AI characters and tools that provide an easier way to create projects, demonstrations, and art. It is the availability of media containing public figures that is primarily driving this kind of thing. If it was easier to find and use a digital alternative entity, I think most people would use it as an alternative.
One thing I have tried is to use an amalgamated creation of people that are accessible in the dataset, (PersonA:PersonB). If done well, the final results can be consistent and unrecognizable as either person.
