how are you sure it wasn't bullshitting? were you feeding it a known binary?

Some of the input data was known yes, because this software has a gui and it outputs a binary file based on user data (PCB Bill of materials)+internal machine settings. So i knew there were some coordinates and ascii data in there and GPT helped find the delimiters, etc. Some things i was also able to figure out with Ghidra and lots of trial and error.
