It's nowhere near "a fair amount of work". It's a fraction of a percent, if that. The reason I know this is because I am using LLMs quite deeply.

For this specific project, I'd be very surprised if the prompter needed to know anything more than:

1. Assembly exists. 2. The 8088 (and later) existed. 3. The target hardware's OSes did not support preemptive processes.

For Fable (which is what they used), it can infer the rest, with the user providing "No, that's not it, change the color" type of prompts.
