It sounds like pretty standard constructions with OpenAI's API. I have a couple of such iterative scripts myself for bash commands, SQL etc. But sure, why not!

Yes, but what I proposed seems like no risk of silently overwriting? If there are dependencies between cells there will still be an error

Yes, questions like that are currently the best way to distinguish humans and machines. Common riddles or questions made trivial. A little more sophisticated and GPT-4 will also fail.
