My impression is also that they are worse at C# than some other languages. In autocomplete mode in particular it is very easy to cause the AI tools to write terrible async code. If you start some autocomplete but didn't put an await in front, it will always do something stupid as it can't add the await itself at that position. But also in other cases I've seen Copilot write just terrible async code.
LLMs are terrible at writing hip-hop because they can only move forward.
Hip-hop is just natural language with extra constraints like rhythm and rhyme. It requires the ability to edit.
Similarly, types and PL syntax have more constraints than English.
Until transformers can move backward and change what they've already autocompleted, the problem you've identified will continue.
