Suppose Copilot was Composer and it generated personalized songs for you after being trained on Spotify's library. If you started performing the resulting song and it contained recognizable clips of others, I guarantee you'd have lawyers coming after you.

I don't see this as fundamentally different. It's unlikely that the Free Software Foundation is going to track you down for including some GNU code in your single-user repo. If you used their stuff in a popular commercial project and they got wind of it, you might expect to receive a cease and desist at best.
