I'm not a copyright lawyer, but it seems pretty clear to me you can't wash a license using an LLM.
[US jurisdiction]:
Anything in the result written by the LLM can not be copyright by anyone.
Anything in the result written by a human can be, and if it was all emitted by the LLM then that portion originally written by a human carries its own copyright.
As a work of an LLM, the entirety presumably can not be copyright, at all. Portions written by humans presumably carry their original copyright.

Well, there is a long tradition of "testing" developer candidates by asking them to exhibit skills in tasks that they never, ever, do in their work. Like whiteboard coding.
It doesn't have a great success record.

It's not uncommon for older aerial photos to be single-pixel lines that the film is moved past. The motion of the film is correlated with the motion across the ground, so you can reconstruct a 2nd axis from the exposure.
I don't know, I go back and forth a bit. The thing that makes me skeptical is this: where is the training data that contains the experiences and thought processes that senior developers, architects, and engineering managers go through to gain the insight they hold?
"exec() is the world's most efficient garbage collector." [1]
This idea is both worthy, and old.
