One precedent is that it's not unusual for artists to practice by going to art galleries and sketching or drawing the art on display. It's a standard art student assignment. If that's not a copyright violation, an LLM doing something similar isn't.
How is the LLM case similar at all? As soon as the student’s use of the museum piece crosses into the commercial realm (eg pay the student to draw it for you), I expect you to have legal trouble.

Why? An LLM isn’t a human. Why should the same rules apply to it?
