So? Those mistakes will come up in testing, and you can easily fix them (either yourself, or ask it to do it for you, whichever is faster).

I regularly ask ChatGPT to write code against classes/functions that didn't exist until earlier today when I wrote those APIs. Obviously the model doesn't know those APIs... but it doesn't matter, you can just paste the function list or whole class definitions in and now it does know they're there and will use them.
