I think the concern is that the only reason that source attribution comment is there is because they haven't figured out how to better plagiarize/launder code.

Otherwise the tool can go in the other direction and literally say "hey how about this function from project $foo?" with a full attribution. Apparently Google Bard does bother to do that.

There's no reason for attribution. It's inspired code, not included code. Human coders do the same thing every day.
What is “code laundering”?
