Is it not in the agency of the developer to hit the save button?
It seems like GitHub Copilot can spit out copyrighted works all day but the person running the text editor has to "choose" which Copilot output to actually save/commit/deploy.
Does it really matter that much "how" the text in your text editor gets there? You write it yourself or copy/paste it or have Copilot generate it. Ultimately the individual that "approved" it to be saved to the disk is the one violating the copyright, Copilot is just making a "suggestion".
