Greg Rutkowski, a digital artist known for his surreal style, opposes AI art but his name and style have been frequently used by AI art generators without his consent. In response, Stable Diffusion removed his work from their dataset in version 2.0. However, the community has now created a tool to emulate Rutkowski's style against his wishes using a LoRA model. While some argue this is unethical, others justify it since Rutkowski's art has already been widely used in Stable Diffusion 1.5. The debate highlights the blurry line between innovation and infringement in the emerging field of AI art.

Maybe I'm missing something here but isn't Disney a great example of a style having ownership? One that Disney aggressively defend too. Difference being an individual person doesn't have the resources of all of Disney so they can't do much to defend their art... idk i'm rambling.
