  But that about me page is the very definition of boilerplate text, so really it only gives weight to the argument that it's not producing original work.

    You got downvoted, but I kind of like this argument. There are a million "about me" pages, but Copilot did a good job of picking one for "generic software engineer". If it could just have changed a word or two to a synonym, it would be great.

  Bullshit. That not an existing aboutme page. You can go to davidcelis' website and verify that it's completely different. Copilot just picked a random person and linked to their social media accounts. You can search any large quote within that about me on Google and not find a match, it is unique. The only two examples of generating large sections of copyrighted work are the quake floating point hack and the zen of python. Both those examples are commonly known and copied and talked about, to the point that they have wikipedia pages.
