Lots of follow-ups, here is the transcript (warning, too much bla bla). i was feeding the file to gpt4 slowly because i was hitting its input limits:

This is cool, though it did make a mistake while converting hex number to decimal (0x132004 = 1253380, not 1249284). Proof reading this can be a big pain. It can detect those patterns out of a long piece string like nothing, yet it fails at basic conversion, which is really beyond me.

Have you tried ChatGPT Code Interpreter aka Advanced Data Analysis mode?

That's the thing that can write and then execute Python code against files you upload to it.

I've had great results using it to decipher weird binary formats, since it can try things out and iterate on them.

Yes, I tried it for this bin file and it didn't go as deep as stock gpt4. It wrote some python code to parse the file, but it was hard to have a long conversation with it regarding the data. It was always jumping into writing python before the brainstorming finished (could be a feature not a bug) ;)

Oh that is super cool!
