Draw me an SVG

Posted: Jun 27, 2024.

I found that asking LLMs to generate SVGs is a good quick-and-dirty way to compare their creative capabilities.

It's more visual than benchmark scores, and gives a decent idea of how well they might perform in other tasks.

Here are some random things rendered as SVGs by 4 of the latest models:

Later, I think it'd be interesting to see how latest models handle Tikz drawings.
