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

Your analogy looks alien to me. Can you show us the link between a human and a computer program? WTF is "biological neural network"? Can you quote a law?
