#882I generated pelicans riding bicycles on both thinking level low and thinking level high: https://gist.github.com/simonw/68560eddb0b268a8417f80ceb7304... The high one is notably better - the bicycle frame is the correct shape, unlike thinking level low. For comparison, here's Opus 4.7: https://gist.github.com/simonw/afcb19addf3f38eb1996e1ebe749c...
It's funny that we've reached the level where LLMs draw more correct bikes than any random person

Here's pelicans in all of the thinking levels - low, medium, high, xhigh, max https://tools.simonwillison.net/markdown-svg-renderer#url=ht...
Max seems to me to be notably better than the others.

It's pretty safe to say that AI will be used on the battlefield making real life and death decisions before it will be able to render a decent pelican on a bike in SVG.
I think it's beyond decent. I don't understand how people are not more impressed by this. Just a few years ago the only expectation would be garbled nonsense.
