GPT-3 is good enough to fool many people into thinking it is actually
intelligent.   But what it is really doing is looking for matches to stored
content.    So if the solution was not present in the sample text GPT-3 was
trained on, it will not be able to give you the answer.

It is not better and maybe worse than simply "Googling" your question.

GTP seems smart because it can put the looked-up answer into
grammatically correct English.

As an example of how it works you might ask it "Hello, how are you doing?"
and it will find the common words that follow this question from thousands
of times It has read "how are you" and it will give the text that typically
follows like "Fine, thank you".   The thing to remember is that GPT-3 has
absolutely zero understanding of what the question means.

So in the case here GPT picked up on the words "file", "hal", "7i92" and
gave you text that matched.  It did not write the hal file for you.
