images that were Rule #1 edits. Recently, with the rise of AI-generated
iamges, we have seen people using these tools for the same purposes. However, some prompters do not realize that copying an artist’s style may result in their image being taken down. And, sometimes, AI tools are so eager to please that they create images in a particular artist’s style even if it was not requested.Whether a work is created by a human artist or a prompter using AI, we review each case on an individual basis. Because a style is not copyrightable, I personally look at whether a suspect work is derivative rather than whether it copied a particular artist’s style.
It is absolutely ridiculous to demand from AI that it not generate a particular style of art as no-one holds a copyright to that art-style.
It is true that copyright law does not protect a particular artistic style. However, if a style has become closely associated with a specific artist, it may be considered the artist’s personal ‘trademark’ or ‘brand’. While copyright law does not extend to artistic styles, we may still take steps to protect an artist’s style in cases where

Yeah. This issue has been happening on the site for a while, but AI-generated art has made it more common.
