"is in the style of" or "makes use of the same characters"

No because in that case you're talking about, there is at least an artist.

There is no artist for a generated picture - closer than the training set.

Publishing an image always has a human and has always been the issue.

Doodles, personal art notebooks, photoshopped images - those have never been things that have run afoul of copyright... until they are published.

A person doodling on some paper or running stable diffusion and using it as a background image for their desktop - these have never been at issue before and from a legal point of view are likely very much the same.
