Style is not protected by copyright. You can create your own art in the style of any living artist and this is allowed. AI is automating that process. Some works that the models produce may be too close to an original work and probably be guilty of copyright violation if that ever goes to court. It'll be up to a judge to look at the original and the AI output to weigh in on if it's different enough or if it's an elaborate copy. Code is different, there isn't a style to it other than perhaps indention and variable naming conventions. Entire sections (that are protected by GPL) are copied. This by itself isn't the issue, it's contaminating your codebase that is the problem. If your work ends up with the same license as the code sources and those are properly documented per those license agreements you're fine. But if you end up violating the GPL and someone knows their code is in use, you are in a tough situation. Again, it'll end up in an expensive court room session where a judge is going to have to determine if enough code was copied to be construed as a license violation. That's the one scenario you would want to avoid in the first place because for a lot of businesses that kind of lawsuit is too expensive to fight.
