Do you?

With base SD1.5, “by greg rutkowski” produces extremely similar results to “detailed realistic muted fantasy”. Except for the case where what you are actually trying to do is directly mimic the work of an artist with a strong unique style that is very heavily represented in the source data (Rutkowski, IIRC, has extremely little representation in the SD training data, leaving aside question of whether the other parts of that description apply), I don’t think you are losing the ability to refer to styles without artist names.
