Let's adopt a legal realist point of view. RIAA/etc. have money, lots of lawyers with large briefcases, and lobbyists so as to basically write the law. The ordinary YouTuber doesn't have tohe resources to defend, and there aren't any commercial interests on the other side here.
So even if the output is technically made entirely by LLM, they'd find a way to slightly tweak the process or even the law so it applies. Someone will do a trivial low-pass filter and then claim copyright. At worst they'd find a flunky to say they 'wrote' the music.

Those two can still rely on patents and trade secrets in a way that RIAA can't. (At least, the RIAA can't rely on those as far as I can see, but what do I know…)
