Huh. They're not "Pelicanmaxxing"... they're Ottermaxxing.

Take a look at the GLM 5.2 and Deepseek V4 "animal on a plane" examples. In every case, the animal is standing on top of the plane, a clear misunderstanding of the concept of "animal on a plane"... with the exception of the Otter. The otters are sitting in a seat on the plane, looking out the window.

That's Ethan Mollick's "Otter On A Plane Using WiFi" image benchmark.

(Sometimes the Racoon is sitting inside the plane as well, but the racoon is a common backup benchmark. I'm surprised it wasn't also holding a sign saying that it loves trash.)

Also, Grok seemed to really really enjoy "whale on a plane" in that second round, and kudos to GPT Terra for deciding after 3 rounds that the user was terrible at spelling and generated "Antelope On A Plain".

EDIT: I promise I'm a human, but I did just notice my "that's not x... that's y" construction at the start. I am rather Claudepilled — my apologies.
