If Getty wins this one, you win as a photographer. If they lose, you lose. They might be a shitty company, but in this instance, your interests align...

That assumes parent cares about AI training, which they may not. If you wanted to release your work freely, Getty could still get in the way.

why would anyone pay for their photography if an ai can generate it for pennies on the dollar?

In the event that Getty Images wins, it seems most likely that AI researchers would pay Shutterstock/Getty Images for their large existing catalogs of images. With the companies having a stronger position (getting to act as a gatekeeper to this kind of machine learning) and artists still a weaker one, I wouldn't hold out hope for them passing anything on.
