Scraping itself is not illegal. It's not until an AI generates a copyrighted IP that it becomes an issue.
It's like if I were trying to start an art business. You come to me and ask me to draw a princess. I've never seen a princess before, so I go online and look up images of princesses to get an idea what to draw. I go back to the studio and draw you a picture of Snow White.
Me looking up princess images is fine. It's only when I sell a Disney® IP without their permission that it becomes illegal. And, even then, it's a civil matter, not criminal.
