Well thankfully I haven't been in school for over a decade at this point, so rarely (never?) encounter these hard-cutoff no-second-chances trivia situations. I operate in the real world, where continually making something that's not-quite-correct then refining it and fixing the errors is how basically everything is accomplished.

Not-quite-correct is a wordy misrepresentation when something is plainly incorrect. In many fields being confidently wrong is how you get fucked over hard. That ChatGPT will gleefully fabricate references like a schizophrenic is just more icing on this shit cake.

This isn't really not-quite-correct; it's egregiously wrong in the central aspect of the thesis. Refining and fixing it requires understanding that, and how, it's wrong--and if you have that level of knowledge, why are you using a tool to write this kind of thing? It's not going to save you much time from actually writing the whole thing yourself.
