The point of this Tweet is about licensing. When using an MIT licensed library for example, you would have to give attribution. But you can easily rewrite portion of that library yourself using Copilot, which could potentially use code from the initial lib, without any attribution or whatsoever. It's even more problematic with licenses such as the GPL.
I guess Copilot could address this by checking the licenses of the projects it uses. Even when combining code, it could pull in the required attribution or avoid GPL licensed code (unless enabled) for example.
