I do the same for translated code. It's not creative work which is a prerequisite for being copyrightable.

And avoid relying on direct LLM output for actual work to make sure I don't accidentally include some regurgitated snippet from an incompatible license.

It helps that LLMs struggle to write good, idiomatic code in my language of choice.
