I will offer an informed alternative to your pov, Wol:
If a mathematical model produces as its output a perfect reproduction of an copyrightable and copyrighted work (something novel produced by the human mind), then said mathematical model is nothing but a copying apparatus. There is no difference between the neural model of Copilot and a big HD containing all the works it's seen, just well indexed. The output is just a copy of the copyrighted work, subject to the same protections under the laws and treaties.
