I think these artists should be able to prohibit their work being used in a training set

Somewhat related - how does copyright work on the output of these AIs? Can a piece of code be the copyright owner of a picture?

the person who pressed the button to start the AI generation for that particular output _should_ own the copyright to it (and also be liable for the infringement if it does).

I'm really curious how this shakes out in the courts. Wouldn't be surprised to see SCOTUS rule on this in the next decade or two.

No. Copyright requires a human creator.
