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.

No, humans create and develope styles in art from "mistakes" that AI would not continue pursuing. Because they personally like it or have a strange addiction to their own creative process. The current hand mistakes for example were perhaps one of the few interesting things AI has done...

Current AI models recreate what is most liked by the majority of people.

And what if the human running the AI likes one of these "mistakes" and tells the AI to run with it?

But that's still not how it works for an artist. I don't mean stumbling upon an accident and using it in your work but deliberately creating something that's not liked and perfect the way you do it. For someone who just instructs a tool and generates images in rapid speed they go a very different path.
