Here's what I've been able to do:
https://pxehost.com https://pxehost.com
It's a cross platform PXE server. You just run it (root-less, no config) and the other computers on your LAN can boot up via PXE and (via netboot.xyz and iPXE) automatically download a Linux installer
The tool itself and the website both started their life as extremely functional 1-shots from GPT-5. pxehost was in a ChatGPT chat, and pxehost.com began as a 1-shot in a Codex CLI.
To me it's really cool that something like pxehost exists, but the fact that it began life as a fully working prototype from a single ChatGPT response is insane.

Just easy to forget just how much went into providing it, in terms of the human labor involved with its training data, financial investments, and raw resources. In the broader context, it’s an unbelievably inefficient way to get to where we got. But as long we are here, I guess we should enjoy it.
