So she is claiming the flat corprate style, but with more saturation, as her own? Thats ballsy. It's a style for sure, but one based on looking oversimplified and generic imo. No suprise its easy to emulate, and a common averaging result. Its not as likely an actually distinct style, unless massively popular, would have this issue. That said, the greater question is no less valid; what elemens of style do we own, and how will ownership manifest moving forward when many new works use ai images as a starting poit, which are then based on other artists work, some of them being ai generated. Will it become a feedback loop sooner, or later, and what will that look like?

This is not just about styles that you personally don't like. It will work for any style with a lot of available existing work, popularity is irrelevant.

It's clear to me that she has a very distinctive style of her own. It's not "flat corporate style" at all.

That’s was not my takeaway:

>… the rendering, brushstrokes, and colors are the most surface-level area of art. I think what people will ultimately connect to in art is a lovable, relatable character. And I’m seeing AI struggling with that.”

So she doesn’t want her name associated with, in her eyes, bland illustration that copy the the style she has used for some big well known clients.

Homeboy in the article specifically trains AI on her work to get specific results that return when her name is used because he wants to be able to recreate her style.

Fans of her work alarmed by the closeness point out to her what's happened.

Qull as appointed gatekeeper of style for the internet: 'she has no discernable style'.
