It is not clear that training an LLM falls under "fair use". We are then left with the license of the work, in this case that license forbids re-selling the work for a profit. It is the artist's license for their work at issue, not their opinion.

If the legality is ambiguous then we're left with an impending court decision. Fair use is an affirmative defense, considered case by case.
