That’s Simon’s goal. “All I’ve ever wanted from life is a genuinely great SVG vector illustration of a pelican riding a bicycle. My dastardly multi-year plan is to trick multiple AI labs into investing vast resources to cheat at my benchmark until I get one.”

So once that's achieved, I wonder how well it deals with unsuspected variations. E.g.
"Give me an illustration of a bicycle riding by a pelican"
"Give me an illustration of a bicycle riding over a pelican"
"Give me an illustration of a bicycle riding under a flying pelican"
So on and so forth. Or will it start to look like the Studio C sketch about Lobster Bisque: https://youtu.be/A2KCGQhVRTE
