This isn't true.

All the "copied code" I've seen is where the person prompts it with a large amount of very unique preamble and then it fills in the exact example they are quoting from.

Try it without doing that.

And it's weird people think it can't understand conceptual relationships. Word2Vec demonstrated that nearly 10 years ago and that's a much weaker model in terms of both size and techniques than this is.

Saying that Word2Vec or Copilot have "understanding" of their input requires a redefinition of the word "understanding".

What's your definition?
