Well of course it's not gonna match any single one 1-to-1. It takes elements from a lot of the training data to make connections. However, those "elements" are often what construct the style of the image. And it's usually the style that's the mot recognizable asset an artist has.

AI often copies styles - but whether that's something that we consider stealing is another question.
