When I take a picture with my phone, those pixels weren't created by a human either. Yet I still own their copyright.
At the core the question is how much artistic input there is in creating LLM models. Are the choice of the model architecture, hyperparameters and training data artistic choices comparable to those by a photographer setting up a shot? Or are they more comparable to technical work that's only protectable by trade secrets, patents and trademarks?

The code of the algorithm would be copyrightable, of course, but the recording is another matter, since the "creativity" aspect is kinda missing there.
