It is CC-BY-SA so it requires attribution (+ share alike).[1] That is the hard part with code written by LLMs.

Considering all the code I write is GPL licensed and I always write a comment on top of SO inspired code blocks with their respective URLs, I don't think I'm doing something wrong.

Update: SA 4.0 accepts GPLv3 as compatible, and I use GPLv3 exclusively. I'm on clear.

LLMs neither know provenance nor licenses about the things they generate, you're right. I think that part of the problem is ignored not just because it's hard, but it's convenient to ignore, too.
