I get the sentiment but I don't think anything here addresses anything I haven't already mentioned. The labor is certainly being used and it's certainly for profit, but not in any way that humans don't already do.
I really am sympathetic towards artists, though. Like I get that a lot of demand for their work could one day be taken by what generative AI is working towards. I just don't understand how we can reasonably call it theft/crime when a computer figures out how to make an image by looking at other images but not when humans do it. The whole thing seems like an appeal to emotion.
