Interesting question. If the Google Vs Oracle case had played out today, and Google was able to prove an AI had created an API that looked incredibly similar to Java, would that have stood up as a defence? If code isn't owned by the developer or company that wrote it, then presumably someone else can't sue them for copyright infringement. If that's true then there'll be no effective way to ever sue a software developer over the code they wrote (or generated, or prompted, or whatever the term will be.)
