I think painters also copy each other styles , or make copy of popular works, artists don't like this but I did not seen people demanding "do not use this art style because XYZ created it", For me, just a regular person, the art is not something an soulless machine can generate or a monkey with a camera, the intent and mind is important. So a guy can ask an AI to create a malformed portrait of some subject with some artist style , the value of the art is in the subject,theme and not the style IMO. Like if you ask for a portrait of X steping on Y dead body, dressed in Z and with M,N,P the artistic value is in your idea behind this and not in the pixels. I remember similar complaints when digital art started to get popular, that is not real art , that you just move pixels around
