Not really. The “techbro” take would involve some way to sell the model, not to train and distribute a model openly and freely as is being done here. Yes, it is complicated as to whether a “style” is actually something that can be protected (especially given that human artists copy each other’s styles all the time and that is generally accepted) but what we are seeing here is a conflict between two creative people. It’s just that some people don’t see creating AI models as art in itself.
