Other than the legality of this code being copied almost verbatim - who is the person who would use it? A person who would use it could also write it. If they cannot write it, why would they ever use this very specific code that magically appeared?

for the same reason people copy random snippets from stackoverflow without understanding how they work. There's a large amount of people who care more about getting a job done than really understanding how the tools work they're using.

There is absolutely zero doubt in my mind that copilot et al will lead to the absolute proliferation of half baked code even more than all the other mundane ways to copy&paste do.
