Yeah, I don't include the person down the hall when I ask for their help unless they are making final design decisions alongside me. If copilot is doing 40% of the work, sure. Just existing nearby isn't enough.

    Also, CoPilot isn't a person. It shouldn't be a co-author for the same reason Google and StackOverflow aren't.

    If I copy a solution from SO I usually put in a comment with a link to the answer to cite my source. I don't mind crediting where credit is due, but claiming co-author for a spelling correction is a bit much.
