It depends how much you "learn from it" and then write your own code vs how much you copy/paste.
Copilot is pretty commonly just copy/pasting. You can get it to spit out exact copied code, including comments.
p.s. "it's not as simple as you imagine" is pretty dickish. Why include that?

It only matters if someone uses CoPilot to make a close copy of that code. Fortunately Copilot is actually not commonly just copy/pasting. They did a study on that if you search for it (admittedly not an independent study but it's the only one we have). > Why include that? Because so many people are making the assumption that the law agrees with their overly simple interpretation before it's even been decided. It's a bit tedious.
