> If someone could show that the "copilot" started "generating" code verbatim (or nearly verbatim) from some GPL-licensed work...

Under the right circumstances, Copilot will recite a GPL copyright header. It isn't a huge step from that to some other commonly repeated hunk of GPLed code -- I'd be particularly curious whether some protected portion of automake/autoconf code shows up often enough that it'd repeat that too.
