There's some big differences:

Artist are human

There is a dramatic difference between learning from or being inspired by an artist and incorporating it wholesale into an LLM

Artists can use human judgement and knowledge of social norms to decide what art is or is not appropriate to utilize. (e.g. a painting in the museum versus someone's tribute to a dead loved one on DeviantArt)

There's a big difference both in the amount of learning and the amount of output between an AI and a human.

There's a big difference between an artist and a megacorporation.

Andy Warhol did in fact compensate the artists whose work he incorporated into his art. So there is definitely precident.
