So if I ask a *question* I may claim copyright on the *answer*?
Well, in a sense, it could be argued that the answer is a "derivative
work" of the question. But I don't think that anybody would take this
argument seriously.
Certainly it doesn't work like that when you ask a human.
Why would asking a machine be different?

Additionally, I'm pretty sure that the terms of service of every
corporate LLM require users to surrender any rights they might have.
