I get where you're coming from, but given that LLMs are trained on every available written word regardless of license, there's no meaningful distinction. Companies training LLMs for programming and writing show the same disregard for copyright as they do for graphic design. Therefore, graphic designers aren't owed special consideration that the author is unwilling to extend to anybody else.
Of course i think the same about text, code, sound or any other LLMs output. The author is wrong if they are unwilling to give same measure to everything. The fact this is new normal now for everything does not make it right.
