Yes but if I use copilot in a private codebase how sure am I that it has not copied GPL code.

I think the risk is higher, but it's always been possible one of the developers would copy GPL code. There are tools that check your code to see if any GPL code exists. I haven't used them, but I suppose you could audit with those.
