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

replyI’m curious to see if subscription vs free ends up mattering here. If it is a work for hire, generally it doesn’t matter how the work was produced, the end result is mine, because I contracted and instructed (prompted?) someone to do it for me. So will the copyright office decide it cares if I paid for the AI tool explicitly?
replyThat would depend on whether those who sold you the software-output, had copyright to it.
