Greg Rutkowski Was Removed From Stable Diffusion, But AI Artists Brought Him Back - Decrypt (decrypt.co)

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.

Disney doesn't defend the style. They defend the use of the characters. You can find countless pieces of. fan art (draw X in the style of Disney) that haven't been sued over.

Things like r/learntodraw : Trying to get better at Disney’s style (yea, reddit) aren't infringing.

But I can assure you that if style was something that could be protected, then there'd be a great deal of amateur and fan content that is currently produced by small time artists that wouldn't be able to anymore. ... And the "you copied my style" would mean more than internet bragging points.
