Another day, another model and another pelican :-)

I can't help but wonder where is the trend going? What will we have in five years? Maybe it will all have puttered out, and we will have moved to the next thing? Or maybe the prompt then will be "make a pelican ride a bicycle", and out will come the genetic code for a giant pelican with extremities suitable for a handle bar and pedals, and an inborn affinity to ride bicycles?

I’m excited for this specific brand of survival horror.

You are thinking too hard on this. This entire "benchmark" is a performative joke for attention that only works on HN.

We will just have more of the same.

I take exception to that! It's a performative joke for attention that works far more widely than just Hacker News.

You say it's performative joke, but it all depends what you're using model for. So far the rule has been quite straightforward, better models consistently renders pelican in higher quality, I've yet to see an exception. It is also a good enough (for me at least) test for "taste" the model has.
