Pelican-bicycle alternatives

Thirty SVG drawing prompts in the style of Simon Willison's pelican-riding-a-bicycle test, given to language models in 2025 and 2026. In November and December 2025, inspired by Simon Willison’s pelican-riding-a-bicycle benchmark, I had some then-current LLMs create SVGs from thirty similar prompts, such as “Generate an SVG of an octopus operating a pipe organ.” Simon mentioned that experiment on his blog [1].
