Does copilot seem strange, or maybe the concept of intellectual property does?

Copilot isn't strange from a technical prespective.

The strange bit is how they are allowed to use other peoples code to create derivative works (this is how I see it from my non-legal perspective anyway).

Even if it's legal (to the letter of the law, not the spirit) it leaves a sour taste.
