I feel like the pelican test can't be relevant anymore; the whole point was to to something that wouldn't be in the training set at all and now it is? | ||

A parachuting flamingo? An aardvark driving a bus? It should be easy to randomize the animal and the mode of transport (or vary it with animal playing a sport) to create images not in the training data. | ||

How about an animated SVG of a pelican doing the Macarena, profile view, spinning to face the camera on the last beats? | ||

Agree. It was interesting/fun for a bit though. | ||

What about an armadillo playing a piano? There are so many potential combinations It would say something if the pelican looked great but the armadillo looked terrible | ||

> I feel like the pelican test can't be relevant anymore; It never was. The point of this "pelican test" was for performative reasons, or just for attention of the joke. It is like trying to test whether if an adult elephant could actually climb up a tree and reporting that some elephants are slightly better at doing that than others while also reporting at the same time that they are all bad at tree climbing anyway. This is an example of testing for the sake of testing. The "pelican test" tests for nothing. | ||
