Here is an explanation of the law: https://www.copyright.gov/fair-use/more-info.html#:~:text=Fa....
Effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work: Here, courts review whether, and to what extent, the unlicensed use harms the existing or future market for the copyright owner’s original work. In assessing this factor, courts consider whether the use is hurting the current market for the original work (for example, by displacing sales of the original) and/or whether the use could cause substantial harm if it were to become widespread.

If your view of the law is correct then programming is illegal, because who among us has not read copyrighted code and used it to train our biological neural network? I suspect your view of the law is not correct.

Humans aren't robots and our laws aren't designed to equate the two, even if you assume that copilot is anything close to intelligence
You seem to be confusing what you'd like the law to be with what the law is.
