Style transfer is perfectly legal AFAIK, asking artists to do a drawing of X in the style of Y was already a thing. Style is not copyrightable.

I didn't mean to say style transfer is illegal, it's not, but doing it en-masse is unethical.

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. That's what I'm trying to say.
