If you were to train a person to paint in the style of another artist, does the original artist have any claim to its licensing?

Does Disney have a right to any cartoon that looks like a Mickey Mouse cartoon, but doesn't actually depict Mickey Mouse, regardless of its source?

There is something fundamentally different about an AI, though. Perhaps the ability to produce output at scale. Perhaps that its creator/owner may not have the ability it trains the AI to perform.

I'm not sure. But I feel that comparing AI to humans here is disingenuous or naive.
