You can pay a human artist to produce "similar" images too, and as long as they aren't too similar it's fine.
You seem to be conflating - repeatedly - exact copies of a work with merely copying a style. Family Guy had an episode where Brian and Stewie visit a Disney universe, and everything was animated in the style of a classic Disney film. A bunch of humans did indeed watch a bunch of Disney films, and make a new animation based on what they saw. Did Disney - a notoriously litigious company - sue? Of course not. Copying a style is not infringement! I don't see why it's any different if an AI program does that.

Why would Disney sue themselves? Disney owns family guy. In a world where Disney did not own it, Disney would probably sue if they used a cartoon mouse. "Style" may not be covered by copyright, but characters likely are. A human animator would know enough not to make a parody cartoon mouse look too Micky-like, but an AI wouldn't know to avoid that.
