I think "performative" and "random snippet" are key here.
But let's think of an example that may push the line. What would happen if someone wrote a closed source "Linux" kernel using the Linux kernel interface as a stub, and filled in the code using copilot. You'd expect some of the generated code to come from Linux, since that's the best code for the stub. Linux's use of GPL is not performative and this could create multiple instances of copied code.
But for everyone else who isn't building a closed source replacement of GPL software, I have a hard time thinking you'd be impacted.
