Notably it added a cheeky fish in the beak.
- simonw 3mo agoWow, that one is really good.
- Gormo 3mo agoApart from the fish being visible inside the pelican's mouth.
- winter_blue 3mo agoAnd it's animated!
- simonw 3mo agoWhat method did you use to generate that one? I tried using their OpenAI-compatible API and got one that's a lot less fun (no animation) - https://tools.simonwillison.net/markdown-svg-renderer#url=https%3A%2F%2Fgist.github.com%2Fsimonw%2F735f2cf19b795517cb2ff6cae1c71c64 https://tools.simonwillison.net/markdown-svg-renderer#url=ht...
- cypressf 3mo agoI used the web UI at https://chat.qwen.ai/ https://chat.qwen.ai/. I didn’t log in. I selected Qwen3.8-Max-Preview and prompted “create an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle.” It took a LOT of reasoning time before it spit it out. 10 min or more? I wish I had created an account first because I lost the chain-of-thought that it used. I remember a couple highlights. There was an internal monologue about whether it was worth it to animate the legs and pedals, and a lot of repeated text about focusing on “a cohesive visual design.” I don’t make svg art so I’m no expert, but I am also surprised at how small the resulting svg ended up. I expected LLM output to be more verbose, especially considering the animations. I’m curious what happens if you retry a couple times. The nondeterminism might be strong enough to have highly variable outcomes.
