Several possible counters to that:

1. Developers could be incentivised to contribute genuinely novel code/solutions. I suspect this would happen rather infrequently.

2. The existing LLMs have already shown themselves capable of innovation in other domains eg writing . I can't imagine coding being any different.

3. Original content would still be published eg research papers. Humans can't help sharing.
