What about people who seem to be able to do things on their own but when they ask for help they turn totally stupid?

Like I have a guy in my company who seems to handle some stuff well, but obviously for things where he lacks knowledge would often seek help. And then if you have him in a videocall, telling him how you think you would do he just turn into a robot that just type what you ask him to do with no sign of understanding what he is doing, like he put himself in cruise control mode.
