We all don't have Google resources. What if someone comes after us individually because some model-generated code is near identical to code in a GPL codebase? Where is the liability here?

We are all vulnerable to predatory lawyer trolls, whether we do things correctly or not. If you are accused of reusing a GPL code, then you ask clarification on which and you rewrite. It is likely to be just a snippet. I doubt Copilot would write a whole lib by copying it from another project.
And yes, of course github is not going to take responsibility for things you do with their tools.

Well, that solves that question.
