Your example doesn't quite match what's happening in real life though. You're not "using copilot as a mechanism to ferry around code". Co-pilot is making recommendations for what code to use and then also giving that exact code (the text) to you. A more apt example would be if Amazon had some UI which said "What kind of book do you want to read on your kindle?", you click the button labeled "biography", and then Amazon sends your Kindle an AI generated book which is the biography of a famous person, and it just so happens that the "generated" book being sent to you is an exact copy of someone elses book (or incorporates exact copies of chapters/paragraphs of someone elses book), legal disclaimers and all.
