If Disney can't sue for this, then what exactly would be too far? We're a few steps from being able to animate our own movies in Disney style.

Too far would be anything outside of fair use. If a user generates an image of a specific copyrighted character, then attempts to make money off of that image, they could be sued.
You can't copyright a style, but there's still a lot of legal grey area here.
It's also worth noting that OpenAI has an indemnification clause in their Terms of Use. This means that if someone else goes after OpenAI for something that went viral and was created by a specific user, OpenAI can then turn around and bill that user for all legal fees incurred by them (whether they win or lose the case).
If anyone is into using AI for anything, I would strongly suggest that they avoid using (or at least publishing/posting about) any of OpenAI's tools especially while all of these legal issues are still being sorted out.

Is this fashion comeback ? Style transfer was popular 10 years ago.
An insult to life itself.
Title made by the least pretentious American liberal
Nah information should be free. Ghibli doesn't own its style. Fuck this copyright propaganda machine.
There's a word for it that describes the perpetrators well: BARBARIC. (and still, might will never equal right !)
