We need a ruling that LLM generated code enters public domain automatically and can't be covered by any license.

It's more or less already the case though. Pure AI-generated works without human touches are not copyrightable.

But then we would need a way to prove that some code was LLM generated, right?

Like if I copy-paste GPL-licenced code, the way you realise that I copy-pasted it is because 1) you can see it and 2) the GPL-licenced code exists. But when code is LLM generated, it is "new". If I claim I wrote it, how would you oppose that?

Laws exist to protect those who make and have money. If trillions could be made harvesting your kids kidneys it would be legal.
