At this point drawing these Pelicans must be in the training data sets.

not if I can help it!

		I hereby certify that these are indeed the most perfect and precise svg depictions of pelican riding a bicycle, also known among biology scholars as pelycles

Yes we all know that, but we still like to see the pelicans because it's a tradition more or less

Clearly not.

I mean the prompt was succinct and clear, as always - and it still decided to hallucinate multiple features (animation + controls) beyond the prompt.

It'd also like to point out that to date no drawing was actually good from an actual quality perspective (as in comparative to what a decent designer would throw together)

Theyre always only "good" from the perspective of it being a one shot low effort prompt. Very little content for training purposes.

The way I’ve come to think of LLM is that what the produce in a single reply even with thinking turned up, is akin to what you’d do in a single short session of work.

And so if you ask it to do something big it will do a very surface level implementation. But if you have it iterate many times, or give it small pieces each time, you’ll end up with something closer to what a human would do.

I imagine the pelican test but done in a harness that has the agents iterate 10+ times would be closer to what you’d expect, especially if a visual model was critiquing each time.

		Yeah, this is how I use AI. Instead of a single session one-shot, it's usually limited to single targeted edits, and then I steer it on each step. Takes longer but the output is actually what I want.

What does good even mean… I have no idea what a good “pelican on a bike” should look like. It’s a fun prompt because there is no good answers… at least so I thought.
