For those curious, Simon's first public usage of it is Oct 25th, 2024[0]. While I'm not aware of any specific "pelican riding a bicycle" prompts being tested in a paper[1], the GPT paper did several SVG and tikz tests and the actual image is rather arbitrary. You wouldn't want to optimize for a singular image but also if you're doing halfway decent training a pelican riding a bicycle shouldn't be too hard to draw, and well... you can see several good examples if you look through different pages on [0].

[1] I'm sure there is because of Simon's fame
