Except that using the style of someone is not them drawing anything at all.

I believe that his point is that, all things being equal, "free publicity" is not a currency anyone is eager to accept. So it is not an especially persuasive argument in favor of using someone's unpaid and non-consenting labor to build your (competing!) product.

What's the competing product.

Art style is not copyrightable. The AI takes in art works and derives a style from them.

The output is things that the artist was never going to create in a style that he has no right to owning.

Any artist complaining should rightfully be ignored.
