Moral rights is indeed "the right to be identified as the author of a work".

I don't think it means the author has a right to all similar styles. If I can legally ask somebody to paint me something in the style of a famous (living) artist, that person presumably having seen and studied their famous works for a while, why should I not be able to ask the AI to do the same thing?

(I understand there might be people who think even a human person emulating the style of another artist is morally wrong, but at least that's a consistent argument)

Moral arguments aren't very consistent, in my experience — when I first heard someone suggest that people start with feelings and then create a narrative (not necessarily coherent) to fit those feelings, a lot of the weird things started to make a lot more sense.

I'm told that for people who think Rolex watches are important, a fake Rolex is much worse than not having a Rolex at all: the item is a signal much like a peacock tail, the signal is de-valued by making things easy.
