Paying copyright holders money for this will cause people to produce mountains of low effort images At the same time though, Getty and Adobe have a vested interest in not allowing that content into their training sets. They are obviously curating here, so that their generator outputs better stuff than the generators of competitors. I'm sure they are wargaming out the possibility of MS/OpenAI and Google coming in. Or maybe even worse, Disney or the video game makers, entering this market. So you would need to generate a mountain of low effort content, and then hope that some of it is good enough to make it through the curation process. It's not a guaranteed thing.

Getty Images is not exactly high art. It's already a collection of low effort images. The threshold for getting accepted has to be much lower than the threshold for making much money, because the company needs the long tail (and so does the AI model), but a photographer previously only made money if their photos were popular. Now as long as you can meet the minimum bar for inclusion, you get the same payment as anyone else, so the quantity of photos at that minimum level of quality goes way up.

In general for training ML models, more data is more important than high quality data. They will totally train on every image they can get their hands on, and then finetune on a curated set of the best images.
