The parent comment seemed to me to be implying that humans aren't capable of copying. In my experience I've had more issues with human developers plagiarising than with copilot plagiarising. You could create such a system. I agree that Copilot operates at a very different level of learning :) the question is a little murky actually, but I think some people are arguing that everything Copilot produces isn't sufficiently transformative and hence violates GPL of code in its training set. Some people are arguing it sometimes generates direct copies and hence violates GPL. Some people are arguing that it is sufficiently transformative and at little to no risk of violating copyright. It's a big question!
