That's why I did the flamingo on a unicycle. For a delightful moment this morning I thought I might have finally caught a model provider cheating by training for the pelican, but the flamingo convinced me that wasn't the case.

To me the opus flamingo is waaaay better than the qwen one. qwen has the better pelican, though.

Is a flamingo on a unicycle not merely a special case of a pelican on a bicycle?

It is completely wild to me that you prefer Qwen's flamingo. I think it's really bad and Opus' is pretty good.

  The Opus one doesn't even have a bowtie.

    The Opus one looks like a flamingo, and looks like it's riding the unicycle. Sitting on the seat. Feet on the pedals. The Qwen one looks like a 3-tailed, broken-winged, beakless (I guess? Is that offset white thing a beak? Or is it chewing on a pelican feather like it's a piece of straw?) monstrosity not sitting on the seat, with its one foot off the pedal (the other chopped off at the knee) of a malmanufactured wheel that has bonus spokes that are longer than the wheel. But yeah, it does have a bowtie and sunglasses that you didn't ask for! Plus it says "<3 Flamingo on a Unicycle <3", which perhaps resolves all ambiguity.

      Let's not oversell Opus' output. The Qwen flamingo is flawed but could be easily fixed with 1-2 prompts if you're really upset with it. The Opus SVG is not any better than something that I could make in Inkscape with 3 minutes and sufficient motivation. Calling Opus' flamingo "programmer art" would be an insult to programmers.

If I (commercially) made models I’d put specific care into producing SVGs of various animals doing (riding) various things ... I find it interesting how confident you seem to be that they’re not.
