You may remember from 2021 that Microsoft's Copilot would gladly regurgitate the GPL-licensed Quake 3 source code, without giving you any indication it got it from there or that the GPL applies.

Ok, so go yell at Microsoft about that incident instead of speculating about a different party doing a different thing.
