Not really, LLMs do not push back on design decisions and will happy continue with whatever prompt you throw at them. That’s after we look past quality isssues.

“Your absolutely right…”

It could push back more, true. Although it's role in pair programming is the driver, you are the navigator. I often begin a session with exploring and asking it questions of the code as I would a junior developer.

Saves this old man from typing anyway.

That’s not pair programming as I use it. Pair programming is where two people work on the same code directly and bounce ideas or critique each other.

If I do something that is not ideal the other person will catch me, and I do the same in return. I kinda see it like rock climbing.

This is how I always did it too. When the whole does it every day, juniors don't stay junior for long!
