I don't understand your concerns. The programmer is responsible for all of his code, no matter if he wrote it himself, copy&pasted it from SO, or injected it with Copilot:
he needs to understand it
he needs to test it
he needs to debug it
Good programmers might improve their speed in early stages of projects, when a lot of simple code can be written. But at later stages Copilot won't be of much use. And bad programmes will likely produce more bad code in a shorter time, but Copilot won't make them good programmes.
I see a bigger issue in the copyright of the injected code, because it lets developers skip the (legally mandatory) step, in which he/she has to check the license.
I think my criticisms come down to how much code it actually injects. If it is just an advanced code completion technology then I agree with you. If however it is injecting more than say 4 to 5 lines of code then I stand by my concerns.
Also if it is targeted at training new coders then I would like to know what code is injected to make sure they actually understand the code and have tested it appropriately.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
