I have the confidence level turned down too but lately it doubles down on itself.
The usual conversation....
VI: "You could do this."
Me: "That won't work because XYZ."
VI: "No, you can definitely do that. XYZ has nothing to do with it."
Me: pastes it's own suggestion in.
VI: "Almost, but that won't work because of XYZ."
It's most notorious one is adding an s to Table.AddColumn() then proceeding to make a full snippet around this newly made up function. This specific example is so regular it's become a joke at work for giving someone an unhelp response,
"What do you want to do for lunch today?"
"Have you tried table add columns?"
