My suspicion is also that what many artists are objecting to is less the training itself (though AI web crawlers are aggressive and annoying) and more the use of the trained model for large-scale generation of similar (and possibly competing) works ("derivative" in an artistic if not legal sense), in the artist's style, especially by large companies for commercial gain.
