    The funny part is, it sounds like he could have been successful, but it sounds like his prompting for the port omitted a lot of important things to consider. He may have just done “make this run on a Mac”. I think if he had mentioned it was a port, one of the major LLMs would have known to change enough about it to make it different and avoid this.

      no. LLMs wouldn’t have done that for simply saying “I want a port of this fork for macos” they wouldn’t have changed the branding or anything. You would have to specifically put in the prompt how you would want a rebrand, specifically state HOW you wanted to rebrand it and where, etc.

      The prompt was likely simply “make this work on macos” and that’s it.
