Just wait till Microsoft integrates ChatGPT into the Intellicode and other areas of VS.

It. Will. Be. Great.
Intellisense will pause your typing after each letter to ask chatGPT, "How's this loser doing? Should I replace what he's typing?" 
Meanwhile, you'll be screaming at Visual Studio, "Type what I'm typing, you freaking garbage heap!!" 
Oh, wait, that already happens. But, fear not, it'll be worse.

Didn't you claim that ChatGPT will eliminate jobs for developers?
So no need for Visual Studio at all regardless of its abilities.

Ah, so it's for the VB crowd. Still trying to get them to convert.

With the current Visual Studio, and ReSharper ...
There are moments of brilliant auto-completion alternating with bizzare insertions of sometime long utterly out-of-context keywords from namespaces my WinForm project doesn't reference.
hypothesis: this is worse in .NET 7/Core WinForm where they reference all kinds of things (like Visual Basic) and there's no option to remove references ... i can find.
... and, so it goes ...
* i consider it a replay of the "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" novel by Stevenson. If you like horror movies from the black-and-white time when actors, not cgi, had to make film work ... may i recommend the 1931 version with Fredric March, and the 1943 version with Spencer Tracy for which he won the Oscar. A cgi colorized version of the 1941 film has been done.

Don't get me started. Right now if I balance it out, I think I spend more time deleting stupid things the editor has inserted unnecessarily / completely misunderstanding my intent, than any time that might have been saved had I had to type it all in manually. Frustrating to an extreme.
Then after you've fought with the editor for a while and got things back under control and made all corrections, you scroll back to the top of the file and find out while it had been doing that, it inserted 4 using statements that are not necessary because it thought you were making references for things that exist elsewhere. Re-reading your quote, I'm guessing this exactly the sort of thing you meant...

Clearly the guys in Microsoft who create intellisense and those writing "Mirosoft learn"/Help/Tutorials are completely different teams. They send the stupid ones to write articles in "Mirosoft learn".

It's depressing, because more often than not I'm searching with the googly bits, and I'm like "yay an old forum post popped up in the search" - then I click on it and it's my own unanswered post from a month ago.
Usually by the time I have a question I'm buried up to my neck in the problem and totally lost, but even articulating the question fully is difficult, much less getting an answer. Like this: Rendering subrectangles of a control[^]
If I have to ask a question it's one of the worst parts of my day in terms of coding.

You don't answer your own questions when you find the solution?

I find when I start answering my own questions I probably need a break

Talk to yourself. Sometimes it’s the only intelligent conversation you will get all day.

A lot of times when I start asking the question I discover that I know the answer!

I'm the same. I tend to get white noise when I ask.
I have learned to look for similar answers to get pointers to the solution needed ... Asking Google is a skill many don't learn ... sometimes rubber ducking in the shower works for shaping those google search questions...

I don't talk to myself out loud. I think its a strange thing to do. But that's me.
I just curse aloud when the frustration gets to be too much and then dive back in.

Yeah I have the same problem. By the time I have to ask a question I'm so frustrated and lost and don't even remember all I've tried my question is unanswerable because it makes no sense...except to me.
