Chat GPT can't directly execute code on my machine due to architectural limitations, but I imagine if I went and followed its instructions and told it what went wrong, it would correct it.
and that's just it, right? If i were to program this, I would be iterating. ChatGPT cannot do that because of how its architected (I don't think it would be hard to do this if you used the API and allowed some kind of tool use). However, if I told someone to go write me an S3 backend without ever executing it, and they came back with this... that would be great.

IIRC, from another thread on this site, this is essentially how S3 is implemented (centralized metadata database that hashes out to nodes which implement a local storage mechanism -- MySQL I think).
Source: I had to implement R2 from scratch and nothing generated here would have helped me as even a starting point. And this isn't even getting to complex things like supporting arbitrarily large uploads and encrypting things while also supporting seeked downloads or multipart uploads.
[1] No one would ever do this for all sorts of problems including that you'd have all sorts of security problems with attackers sending you /../ to escape bucket and account isolation.
[2] No one would ever do this because you've got nothing more than a toy S3 server. A real S3 implementation needs to distribute the data to multiple locations so that availability is maintained in the face of isolated hardware and software failures.
Things I've used chat gpt for:
1. writing songs (couldn't find the generated lyrics online, so assume it's new)
2. Branding ideas (again couldn't find the logos online, so assuming they're new)
3. Recipes (with weird ingredients that I've not found put together online)
4. Vacations with lots of constraints (again, all the information is obviously available online, but it put it together for me and gave recommendations for my family particularly).
5. Theoretical physics explorations where I'm too lazy to write out the math (and why should I... chatgpt will do it for me...)
I think perhaps one reason people here do not have the same results is I typically use the API directly and modify the system prompt, which drastically changes the utility of chatgpt. The default prompt is too focused on retrieval and 'truth'. If you want creativity you have to ask it to be an artist.
