I actually had this happen more than once because of a coworker that uses Copilot and it would help him with code and use functions not in existance. He has since finally stopped trusting Copilot code without more testing.
Worse, they typically do exist, just in training data made up of others' code. Sometimes if you put the function names into GitHub search, you can find them.
