# Why a pelican on a bicycle? THE COLLECTION Why a pelican on a bicycle? An AI field guide · Pelican Map A very specific small question On October 25, 2024, Simon Willison published an SVG experiment involving a pelican riding a bicycle and shared the outputs of several models. Asking code to describe a bird and a bicycle made differences in interpretation visible. The classic prompt Generate an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle. This archive also contains enhanced prompts, animation, 3D scenes and other species. Consult each record’s source before making comparisons. Look at the connections Start with the wheels, frame and body, then look at the beak, pouch, feet and pedals. Differences often emerge in these relationships. The 22 original SVGs below are historical samples, not evidence of the models’ current performance.
