At least in the UK computer generated code has been copyright-able for decades [1]

> (3)In the case of a literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work which is computer-generated, the author shall be taken to be the person by whom the arrangements necessary for the creation of the work are undertaken.

And the ToS of the major/minor AI providers as far as i can tell have no opinion on what you do with the code in terms of ownership.
