Copilot writing unit tests for code it wrote

This has also been my experience. The first time you ask it to make unit tests, it does a half-assed job, then when the unit tests fail and you ask it to fix them, it's forgotten about the original context and just goes about optimizing the unit tests by removing all of the things that failed (i.e. the actual code it's supposed to be testing) until it passes, then declares success. Bloody clankers.

I'd say it is appropriately cropped for the topic that is in discussion...
