If it's actually co authored then you should be fine on copyright.
And of course dumb messages that aren't true won't affect copyright.

How so? All your outoutput is now legally partly owned by Microsoft?
If I write "I own lelanthran's car", does that make me the legal owner of your car? No?

If I counter sign agreement, certainly. How do you think that sales of both movable and immovable property work?
That's not what we were talking about. We were talking about a third party modifying your document without your consent (and sometimes even without your knowledge). You write git commit "Fix bug" and then a third party swoops in the night and modifies that with "Co-authored by: Microsoft".

Right, and how is a court supposed to differentiate between the cases when copilot was not sharing your typewriter and cases when it was?
The bot (and therefore microsoft) doesn't get any copyright at all.

But then neither do you, for every commit that was marked with copilot.
What makes you say that?
If a monkey uses a typewriter, there's no copyright.
If I use a typewriter with a monkey, I get copyright and the monkey doesn't.
Why would the monkey need copyright for me to get copyright?
> If I use a typewriter with a monkey, I get copyright and the monkey doesn't.
Right, because monkeys cannot be granted copyright. If you use a typewriter along with Microsoft, the resulting copyright will be owned jointly.
This story isn't about a monkey claiming co-authorship, it's about Microsoft claiming co-authorship.
No. Legal ownership doesn't depend on whether aislop edited your commit message.
