The "problem" is only a problem if you assume that everything creates a right to be compensated.
The busker doesn't get compensated if I listen to him as I walk by (unless I choose to). He doesn't get compensated even if he has a really cool, kinda-unique idea, I get inspired by it, and start doing something very similar (without outright copying him in the sense of copyright). He doesn't get compensated even if I get my friends to join me and put him out of business.
Copyright is already an artificial piece of compensation that was added, and that is debatable (copyright can be seen as "theft from the commons"). It intentionally covers certain things and doesn't cover others, and this seems to fall under "others", as long as the training data was obtained legally.
I expect that to be the real problem, especially where content was reposted without permission.
