If I suggest whole lines of dialogue to you, the screenwriter, did I write those lines or you? If you change names in those lines of dialogue to fit your story, do you now gain credit for writing those lines?

Neither. Someone else did, and published it. Copilot copied the dialog and suggested it.

It depends. Talking generalities isn't productive or interesting. Can you give an example and we can discuss specifics?
