Apostrophe mistakes aside, no native speaker would stack contractions like this. There’s an upper limit of three words in a single contracted form. It would be “They wouldn’t’ve gotten” or “They’d not’ve gotten.”
ML tools don’t write grammatically correct complex sentences precisely because their training sets contain too many discrepancies. They may learn how to apply prescriptive rules consistently one day, perhaps even one day soon, but this is not that day.
Who says there's an upper limit? You might not be one of those people, but I'm.
Also, that'll teach me to try to write tricky comments while also doing other things. Fixed.

LOL! How did I not know about this? Thanks!
Well, linguists say it. But you do you, friend.
LOL! Right there with you. If I had a dollar for every time this happens to me…. 😄
