I don’t care if there’s a human in the box. If the box spits out training input as output it is copying it.
It doesn’t matter if there is a human doing it or not.
For your supposition to work, the input to the box would be only an abstract summary of the logical steps, and the output an exact copy of some other thing that was never an input.
In that case, yes, it would not be copying.
..but, is that the case? Hm? Is that what we care about? Is it possible to randomly generate the exact sequence of text with no matching training input? Along with the comments?
It seems fabulously unlikely, the point of being totally absurd.
