Also, CoPilot isn't a person. It shouldn't be a co-author for the same reason Google and StackOverflow aren't.

If I copy a solution from SO I usually put in a comment with a link to the answer to cite my source. I don't mind crediting where credit is due, but claiming co-author for a spelling correction is a bit much.

Absolutely. I was just describing where I put the bar, and it isn't even anywhere near it.
