I think this is somewhat harsh.

Many model providers offer a matching service which is supposed to
suppress answers that are verbatim quotes from source material.  (Some
providers may have chosen to implement this in a questionable way,
merely obfuscating code origin when generating responses, but let's
ignore that possibility for now.)  If the originality filter has been
turned on, then I don't see why one shouldn't trust it.  It's already
common practice to submit code on behalf of others.  When doing that, we
don't know for certain if the code was not copied from somewhere else.
Yet that practice has not been called into question.

Thanks,
