The challenges I have were selected because I enjoy solving them and because very few, if any, people have taken the time to work on them already. As such I have no desire to "one-shot" a solution and I additionally have serious doubts that any model trained on any existing code could possibly output anything useful or anything that truly fits into the design of the system. These projects are written for style and are to explore ideas and gain experience. Inviting an LLM in out of laziness is completely the opposite of my intentions.
The only other code that I write is for a handful of industry specific products that are not challenging in any way to code but are fun to design for the specific needs of my users and are informed by their incredible feedback from the field. The time and effort to play games with an LLM prompt would have effectively zero value here and again is the opposite of what makes these products great enough to be sold by word of mouth alone.
Aside from all of this I have no desire to pay a subscription to a service that requires me to submit all of my code to their engine for output. Given their models apparent fondness for taking copyrighted code and passing it off as it's own I would not put it past them to play games behind my back with my work.
Finally I see no new "AI billionaires" suddenly rising out of the field and I see no "AI heavy" companies suddenly increasing their profits, productivity or quality in any way. I hear what you are saying, and you're certainly not alone in saying it, but I see zero evidence that it's actually meaningful in the real world software market.
I would be very happy to solve problems that "very few, if any, people have taken the time to work on them already."
My experience (as someone how works with a team of PhD's) is that code is about 30% of what we do but in these, 75% are "trivial things" (building charts, quickly designing apps to process information, etc). Out of these 75%, AI certainly helps us at least 50% of the time (and amazes me 10% of the time :-))

Exactly what I was telling myself yesterday. That's rather not in line with the media coverage.
We need a new AI "Code Panther".
