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. The collection and timeline accept all dates and media, including explicit prompt or species variants. Animation, video, 3D and interactions retain their documented tools, iterations and generation conditions. Consult the source; not all records share identical conditions.
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.
