I'm still waiting for the day that one of these models interprets the request weird and outputs an SVG of a Pelican case.

In the field I work in, if someone says "Pelican", 99.99% of the time it's going to be an equipment case. We never have reason or need to refer to the actual bird.



Given that a camera case obviously cannot ride a bicycle, this would clearly and indisputably be an incorrect interpretation of the request.

I mean, okay, a bird also cannot ride a bicycle, but at least it is alive, has feet, etc.


True, but in real life I've more than once seen a small Pelican case strapped to a bicycle (long distance touring bikes, people carrying electronics that should stay out of the water). There are some very small and lightweight pelican cases. Not riding it, no... But I've definitely never seen a bird on a bicycle.


Sure you have--on sesame street and a million other books and cartoons.


And this is where we are, a pelican is disputable, but my gun case is indisputable.
