how are you handling copyright/GPL license risks with AI suggestions?

I’m working on a closed-source commercial app. I've recently noticed that you ask tools agents like cursor, or blackbox AI to implement very specific algorithms (like a custom fast fourier transform or specific video encoding), they spit out code that looks suspiciously identical to heavily GPL licensed open-source libraries.

If the ai outputs a 50 line math function verbatim from a GPL repo without attributing it, we could technically be in legal trouble. Are your companies running compliance scanners on ai generated code, or are you just relying on the tools' built in 'block public code' toggles (which seem pretty flaky)?
