Just as even a counterpoint to this, I have asked the LLMs to attempt to generate SVG icons for websites. Even though I have requested things much simpler than a Pelican, they have all tended to do quite poorly in my examples.

Because of this, I presume the Pelican has been in the training data for at least a year+.

The models are very useful, I am afraid they have fundamental limitations though generalizing (it is just hard to evaluate effectively). So it will just be whack-a-mole "can your model do X", and there will always be a new X.

Exactly this! I've tried to generate some really basic SVG icons (think fontawesome) with sota models (one generation back - so gpt 5.5) and _none_ have produced anything that I could use as-is and I've needed to fix stuff in the SVGs manually.
