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.
