Because the benchmark wasn't testing "can an LLM draw a pelican like a human". The original article was testing the relative capabilities between LLMs. Now that LLMs can all draw pelicans all similarly, the test is less interesting as a comparative benchmark.

Do you know if more has been spent on LLM the last 9 years -- since "Attention is all you need" -- than Internet infrastructure during, say 1995 to 2004? That included the dotcom crash. Did you lament how a failure the Internet was? LLM has progressed a lot in the last two year, judging from the pelican drawings. I personally couldn't care less about it though. I do know that I've gone from using no AI at all for coding to probably 95%. I hardly code by hand anymore. That's much more impressive and significant. Failure you said?
