This feels a bit like survivor's bias. Or perhaps more accurately akin to the file drawer problem in academia. This may have worked really quickly this time for this specific use case, but what about the vast number of times a prompt like this this won't have worked for other people? The other metaphor that comes to mind is monkeys and typewriters, although clearly here the odds are a bit better.
