Since LLM-generated things cannot be copyrighted, any code it generates is in the public domain - which breaks from the GPLs copyleft transfer of rights.)

Related to this; basically my thinking here: Since LLM generated outputs are not subject to copyright (per the supreme court, so, they just aren't) -
You can not meaningfully apply a license to LLM generated code, it is all public domain.
Since you cannot apply a license to it, the code can not comply with the GPL if it's distributed, since the LLM-generated code based on GPL code, being in the public domain, fails to carry the GPL's protections to subsequent users.
