Without speaking to the particulars of copilot, this situation where laws seem toothless because of the ease of plausible deniability is actually fairly common. And in many such cases, the law is not as toothless as it seems, because
1. Getting multiple people to stick to a script under oath is difficult and dangerous.
2. Criminals frequently send each other messages like
A: "lol I just crimed, hope nobody figures it out."
B: "lol just say you used copilot".
A: "lolol yeah fuck the law"
Obviously this only gets the worst criminals, but there seems to be lots and lots of them.
