I don't think it's very relevant for your position on this. On the
contrary, if LLMs have been trained mostly with open source code, then
if they produce copyrighted output, that output is more likely to be
compatible with the GPL. It has even been suggested (and discussed in
this thread) that some AIs should be trained only with open source
material (for example MIT licensed material?) so that we could stop
worrying about including it. If that happens, there would be no reason
to outright ban AI generated content, right?

even MIT license requires attribution. As most current day LLMs fail to
provide that their output is legally dubious even when trained on fairly
permissively licensed code.

Fair enough, but then if an AI is ever trained with the particular
purpose of producing code that can be included into MIT compatible
code bases, then hopefully people training it will make sure it can
help with properly attributing that code.
