In the absence of such an entitlement, not volunteering to disclose the tools used is not fraud.
If LLM generates some code but I edit it, does it become my own work? How much editing must be done?
How large is "largely" ? Exactly how many bits of information must come from my fingers tapping the keyboard in order for me to qualify for authorship? Be precise.
If I write something but the LLM polishes it up a bit, is it still my work? Or is it AI generated?
I'm not going to define substantive for you. That's something you should feel obligated to research and learn about yourself; anything less is dishonest.
There are some precedents and rulings related to copyright and AI, so we have at least some rubric by which "authorship" can be determined. But when it comes to AI doing polishing of existing code - that is less certain.
The tag is helpful because AI authorship is different than the human authorship. When you work with a project or team for long enough you start to trust certain people and their intuition, but when they start submitting AI-produced code you have to reset and review it like AI code.
I use these tools a lot, too. But I want to know where the code came from so I can review it accordingly. The source matters.

I don't know why you're so defensive. If AI wrote the code just be honest about it.
If you outsourced the code writing to some guy named Bob on Fiverr, I'd want to know that too.
