I gave the SVG unicorn back to GPT-4 and asked it, what is it. It recognized a head, eyes, body and legs. But it didn't recognize the unicorn. https://chat.openai.com/share/5409b417-b883-429f-893e-abe3d6...

The OP has a slightly different prompt -- so this answer wouldn't qualify.

"System: You are a helpful assistant that generates SVG drawings. You respond only with SVG. You do not respond with text.

User: Draw a unicorn in SVG format. Dimensions: 500x500. Respond ONLY with a single SVG string. Do not respond with conversation or codeblocks."

What is strange to me about this is that with a remarkably similar prompt ("Draw a unicorn in SVG format") I'm able to get this from the Bing image creator (which is powered by DALL-E -- and I would think GPT-4 would have this capability. Perhaps I'm being naive): https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIG.GqpaRZ.NXCN6uxKj7X1u?pid=ImgGn

But it's not in SVG format. It's just a bitmap image that copied the style of a vector image. The Unicorn output from ChatGPT is an actual string of text, that can be rendered into the unicorn image on the page.

Image generation "in the style of SVG" (which DALL-E did) has nothing to do with generating actual svg source code (which GPT does) and then rendering it.

100%. This person is trying to find patterns in random noise and believes they are meaningful. The original post hurts my head with its bad logic.

I'm sorry it hurts your head. I'm happy to sponsor a packet of paracetamol or some water if that helps. Ultimately, this is fun, not science. I'm just happy that after all these attempts, it finally got to a unicorn.

Well done for being a good sport, but I'm willing to bet that tomorrow's shape will not resemble a unicorn and you'll have to figure out how that works with your assumption that the model is improving.

It got to a unicorn quite easily when the output was set to Tikz as I’ve done here: https://bobjansen.net/drawing-with-chatgpt/

That looks nothing like a unicorn, but the three triangles at the top right in the third picture look like the mask of some evil manga villain alien robot.

It has become common knowledge that GPT4 (and also 3.5) have problems with deterministic outputs (even at T=0). So what we're seeing here is just the effect of random sampling, not any actual change to the model itself. If you scroll down, you'll see other close attempts by the exact same model that could already be counted as a win depending on who you ask. Edit: This comment section is a super fascinating case stud…

> This comment section is a super fascinating case study on the inherent flaws in human cognition. Especially when it comes to seeing patterns in random noise. The fact that some people believe that the model really has to have changed in the past few days is amazing You need only to look at the discourse around the Tesla FSD superusers to see this: they report a glitch at an intersection one day, then believe the ne…

Go into /r/chatgpt and /r/bing and it's a bit scary how many people anthropomorphize the models.

Coincidentally, I saw this headline after waking from a dream where a unicorn bashed through the window of my childhood kitchen, and I had to fight it off with a water gun. Melatonin, not even once.

I've got a blog post for that too!

How do they get GPT-4 to produce valid SVGs so well? I experimented with SVG generation and it would often produce junk that wasn't even valid as an SVG, and even when it did produce a valid SVG, was often a couple of blobs which it would describe as if it were the mona lisa while just being a couple of elements.

Looks like it just reprompts for a valid SVG if the result isn't valid: https://github.com/adamkdean/gpt-unicorn/blob/master/src/lib...

Pretty much. Just checked the logs, that's only happened 3 times since last restart which was 4 weeks ago.
