I don't think it really matters if you do your PhD orally in a lecture or write a paper. The essence of it remains the same: you have to make your thinking concrete and form an argument that makes sense and is coherent. The exact form this takes isn't all that important, what is important is that you're the one doing the work instead of ChatGPT. My other comment almost perfectly fits here too, so I won't repeat it in full[1], but only by doing the work yourself will you spot flaws and errors in your arguments; ChatGPT can't do that for you.
