Maybe you were not impressed by those chatgpt's answers, but I am. There's a lot of shifting goalposts going on when rating AIs responses. You could say 'it is

  But the number and type of fundamental mistakes it makes (C maj. and F# maj. triads sharing a common tone??) are just not ones I can imagine a human with basic understanding of music theory making, which does point to some fundamental lack of ability to have any real understanding of what it's talking about.

  I'm impressed, but it's still wrong. Somehow they can both be true here. I think I was able to extract the information, but only after navigating a minefield. Without a strong understanding of the fundamentals I would know less were I just be thrown to the AI. And really the responses MUST have come from a fool. It feels like I was talking to someone who knew absolutely nothing about music theory but had a good internet connection and was trying to wing an interview. The breadth and depth of the AI's knowledge is profound to say the least. However its ability to comprehend the information is nothing short of abysmal. If you were trying to pass a Music Theory 101 class you would fail bad if you listened to the answers it comes up with. It's as if it was unable to apply what it was talking about at some fundamental level. Like it could tell you all about covalent bonds and air pressure ratio to boiling point but will tell you water boils at at 20,000 degrees C at sea level. Impressive, but terribly wrong.
