For a delightful moment this morning I thought I might have finally caught a model provider cheating by training for the pelican, but the flamingo convinced me that wasn't the case.
The Opus one looks like a flamingo, and looks like it's riding the unicycle. Sitting on the seat. Feet on the pedals.
The Qwen one looks like a 3-tailed, broken-winged, beakless (I guess? Is that offset white thing a beak? Or is it chewing on a pelican feather like it's a piece of straw?) monstrosity not sitting on the seat, with its one foot off the pedal (the other chopped off at the knee) of a malmanufactured wheel that has bonus spokes that are longer than the wheel.
But yeah, it does have a bowtie and sunglasses that you didn't ask for! Plus it says "<3 Flamingo on a Unicycle <3", which perhaps resolves all ambiguity.
Let's not oversell Opus' output. The Qwen flamingo is flawed but could be easily fixed with 1-2 prompts if you're really upset with it. The Opus SVG is not any better than something that I could make in Inkscape with 3 minutes and sufficient motivation. Calling Opus' flamingo "programmer art" would be an insult to programmers.
If I (commercially) made models I’d put specific care into producing SVGs of various animals doing (riding) various things ... I find it interesting how confident you seem to be that they’re not.
