This for the actual work, definitely not for transformative works like llm output. So a ghibli style image of me is fine legally, whether I sell it or not.

Yes, I agree. Style is not subject to copyright, only actual works.

But even for actual works, the above is incorrect. How you use the copy absolutely matters.
