I've always appreciated the feature of AI coding tools, where they confidently tell you they've done something completely wrong. Then if you call them on it, they super-confidently say: "Of course, here's what needs to be done..."

Then proceed to do something even worse.

Or when you say there's something wrong and the new version is just the same with comments

Yes. I love the confidently incorrect additional comments explaining in detail how the incorrect code works.

Though I'm usually pretty angry at that point, it is also pretty funny.
