When you create a work using a tool, you own the copyright.
When you create a work using an LLM, there is no copyright.
So then isn't an LLM less than a tool?

But this makes the LLM tool different to other tools. If I author a novel using a word processor I don't then in addition have to substantially alter that output in order for the work to qualify for copyright.
[edit] It's like, how substantive would changes to J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter need to to be in order for a derivative work to qualify for copyright? Now apply that to the output of an LLM.
