How is that different than a human artist using their eyes to look at some Ghibli art, taking inspiration from the style, and making a unique drawing or painting with the same style? Artists take inspiration from and copy the style of other artists all the time. If I had the ability to copy the style of Leonardo da Vinci and if I made a painting of my daughter posing like the Mona Lisa on a street in New York, would I be counterfeiting the Mona Lisa? Same style, same pose, different character different backdrop, inspired by the original but not a copy of the original.
The problem is that artists have been cribbing off the studio Ghibli style forever, a cursory search through deviant art going back to its inception would also reveal that. I do understand the slippery slope of AI, but it’s very fiddly grounds if the art piece is not used for profit.
The problem is ai uses direct references from studio ghiblis work. Without the source material ai would not be able to accurately copy it.

It’s different because it’s directly referencing the original.
It’s different because it hurts their feelings.
