That is a good question and I think you should be. After all you are still the Person that writes and produces the code just with the help of a tool. Similar to a lockpick. (I hope that makes sense)
But there's another side to this - if you write code using co-pilot against a popular Api - and co-pilot gives you a valid key - and you access data or a system you aren't supposed to - would you be liable under the various draconian antighacker laws?
If you pick up a key card from the street, and enter someone's home - you'd be trespassing after all..
