I can imagine a future that the artist could "license" Dalle-2 to generate art in their style and they actually get some commission for it. Like the AI can work as the artist's assistant to produce art at scale while she gets benefits too if it makes sense.

If I judge by the examples posted on OpenArt, Dall-e is currently perfectly happy to produce art "by [artist name]". What would they gain by starting to pay commissions? I doubt that will happen unless some legal action forces them to do it.

Even in that case, how would you decide which artists get the commission and which do not? They can't possibly track down authors of millions of artworks across the globe they scrapped when training the model. It seems to me that paying commissions to anyone would just mean that they acknowledge the questionable copyright status of the artworks produced by Dall-e.
