Asked an AI to help debug code and it confidently invented a function that doesn’t exist, three times in a row

Suggestions used a method that sounded plausible, fit naming conventions, had reasonable parameters — just didn't exist in the library. Pointed it out, got an apology and an equally confident, equally fake suggestion. Third time was almost impressive: a fully detailed usage example for a function invented on the spot. Ended up just reading the actual docs like it's 2015. Anyone else notice confidence and correctness running inversely related?
