That pretty clearly would fall under transformative work. It is not illegal for a human to paint a painting in the style of, say, Banksy, and then sell the resulting painting.

Humans and AI are not the same thing, legally or physically. The law does not currently grant AI rights of any kind.
If a human isn't violating the law when doing that thing, then how is the machine violating the law when it cannot even hold copyright itself?
In some locales sitting on the street writing down a list of people coming and going is legal, but leaving a camera pointed at the street isn't. Legislation like that makes a distinction between an action by a person (which has bounds on scalability) and mechanized actions (that do not).
I'm not sure how to explain this any clearer: Humans and machines are legally distinct. Machines don't have the rights that humans have.

What's not prohibited is allowed, at least in the US.
