I think there is some difference. You don't come across some piece of code by chance, you were actively looking for it, probably there were multiple blogs, SO entries with needed information, one of those sources has to be chosen. You know that this is some random blog post or SO answer given by someone fresh.
Copilot is something different. Code is suggested automatically and, what's the most important, suggested by the authority - hey, this is GitHub, huge project, largest code repo on the planet, owned by Microsoft, one of the most successful company ever. Why should you not trust the code they are suggesting you?
And that's for starters before malicious parties start creating intentionally broken code only to hack system built with it. Greedy lawyers who will chase some innocent code snippet asking to pay for using it, etc.
