Thanks for the suggestion. I’m not sure why I didn’t include an OpenAI model in my first round. Here’s the updated page with GPT-5.1 results added:

As your example shows, GPT-5 Pro would probably be better that GPT-5.1, but the tokens are over ten times more expensive and I didn’t feel like paying for them.

Thanks for adding!

Extending beyond the pelican is very interesting, especially until your page gets enough recognition to be "optimized" by the AI companies.

It seems both Gemini 3 and latest ChatGPTs get a deep understanding of the representation of SVGs that seems a difficult task. I would be incapable of writing a SVG without visualizing the result and a graphical feedback loop.

PS: Would be fun to add "animated" in the short prompt since some models think of animation by themselves. Tried manually with 5 Pro (using the subscription), and in a sense it's worse than the static image. To start, there's a error: https://bafybeie7gazq46mbztab2etpln7sqe5is6et2ojheuorjpvrr2u...

I would also be unable to write SVG code to produce anything other than the simplest shapes.

I noticed that, on my page, Gemini 3.0 Pro did produce one animated SVG without being asked, for “#8Generate an SVG of an elephant typing on a typewriter.” Kind of cute, actually.

As for whether the images on the page will enter LLM training data: In the page’s HTML are meta tags I had Claude give me to try to prevent scraping:

Who knows if they will work, though.
