Here's the text of the license: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-3.0.en.html

Some extracted requirements for "combined works":

>> Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License.
>> Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license document.
>> For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during execution, include the copyright notice for the Library among these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the copies of the GNU GPL and this license document.

Does Copilot do that? Does it allow you to do that by letting you know
to do it, and what the original "copyright notice" was?
