This kind of meets with my experience - AI tends to follow specific patterns for each language, earlier this year I was finding that AI was presenting me with 4 different approaches to a problem, none of them were working so it would cycle through each of the four approaches.

I lost a day chasing my tail cycling through those 4 approaches, but the experience was worthwhile (IMO) because I had beeen becoming lazy and relying on AI too much, after that I switched to a better style of using AI to help me find those approaches, and as a sounding board for my ideas, whilst staying in control of the actual code.

(Oh, I should also mention that AI's conviction/confidence did cause me to believe it knew what it was talking about when I should have backed myself, but, again, experience is what you get after you needed it :)
