It's almost a certainty that you can't copyright code that was generated entirely by an AI.

Copyright requires some amount of human originality. You could copyright the prompt, and if you modify the generated code you can claim copyright on your modifications.

The closest applicable case would be the monkey selfie.

It's almost certain that you're wrong. It's like saying I can't copyright a song if my modular synthesizer generated it. Why would you think this?
