Is this bachelor's thesis idea worth it: LLMs and dementia care

For my bachelor's thesis I wanted to do a research aimed towards LLMs in dementia care. Initially it sounded easy enough: get a BASIC LLM and specialized and compare them. But as soon as I got to do anything I faced the problem that practically any good LLM now automatically finds validation technique and applies it to the answers which kinda renders my research useless. I am also kinda lost on how to do such research. ​

Is this a valid Bachelor's thesis research, or is it too trivial because modern LLMs already know how to apply empathy/validation techniques? I mean for now it looks like just tell chatGPT "answer using X technique" and voila!

I do have a supervisor and already made an appointment to discuss it with them but before that day comes I wanted to hear other opinions and consider if it is even worth the attention.
