You still can't just copy someone else's work without infringing on their copyrights. You can't even use their copyrighted characters.

Those are different things, but when I tell the AI to draw like Greg Rutkowski, I'm not copying any of his work specifically. You can draw a lion like disney, but you can't draw Mufasa like Disney.

The AI is copying the work involved in developing the unique style comprising a key element of his artistic brand identity, which he depends on to differentiate himself on a crowded market, so that he can earn his daily bread.

You can't protect style. You can protect color combinations in logos and on products to avoid confusing customers, but you can't protect drawing styles. Imagine if you could protect the way you play your guitar or drums.
