Oh yeah Copilot just spirals deeper into insanity the more you use it.
It’ll sometimes spit your own code back at you and say “there, I fixed it”, and it does the same when you point it out ad vitam aeternam. I believe this is a case of hardcore over fitting the original prompt.
I recall saying something like “the function ‘draw_card’ doesn’t mutate the deck variable” and it goes “I’m sorry, you’re correct. I’ll fix it to mutate the deck variable” and it returns the same code but changes the the card variable inside function to be called “mutate_the_deck”.

I felt much safer after that interaction.
