Is All AI Coded Code in the Public Domain?

AFAIK it's generally assumed (but not(?) tested in court, that LLMs can't be assigned copyright, and that copyright for work generated by LLMs can't be claimed by a human just for being in the loop.

Is there going to be an avalanche of code that is legally in the public domain, going forward?
