Artists already get compensated for their work (...more or less)
Trainers should require consent from artists to train their model on an artist's work. A part of obtaining that consent could be some form of compensation and ideally credit when generating the images. I don't believe many artists are necessarily concerned about people copying their style. From what I've seen is they just don't want their artwork and their style sucked into the AI-borg to be reproduced en masse.
I do not think scraping images and using them to train models is fair use. I believe AI labs should obtain consent.
