I think this is a concern not just for Copilot but for LLMs in general. It's only a matter of time before they get monetized, intentionally (sponsored results) or unintentionally (SEO spam). LLMO might be the next SEO.

Has anyone seen any standardized self-reported disclosure formats to indicate if any content has been autogenerated?

The parallels to organic and fair-trade certificates seem obvious here, but the direction is opposite. Such admission would indicate to the audience that a portion of what they consume has been autogenerated - which I guess is a negative or at least neutral indicator.

We will never have nice things.

I think moreso it's a yet-another reminder that we will never have networked things that don't have second order effects.

It's possible it's the kick in the pants Google needed to up their game. They've been milking search and pushing organic results down in favor of various ads, widgets, and Google owned content for some time now.
