Not meaningless, but a little obvious. I don't think anyone was accusing ChatGPT of being duplicitous. I think one problem with LLMs and the hype around them is that people are placing far too much confidence in them, and therefore misuse them. That it's even conceivable that people might blame a tool for unethical behaviour is an indicator of this. The idea that an LLM would be able to correctly generate your methodology for you is another. I find ChatGPT simultaneously incredible and terrible. It has no concept of what it knows and what it doesn't, so there's nothing I would trust it to do without a human checking the output.
