I also wouldn't be surprised if labs were starting to mix in a few pelican SVGs into their training data.

Even "accidentally" it makes sense that "SVGs of pelicans riding bikes" are now included into datasets used for training as it has spread as a wildfire on the internet, making it less useful as a simple benchmark.

This is why I keep all my benchmarks private and don't share anything about them publicly, as soon as you write about them anywhere publicly they'll stop being useful in some months.

This is also why, if I were an artist or anyone commercially relying on creative output of any kind, I wouldn't be posting anything on the internet anymore, ever. The minute you make anything public, the engines will clone it to death and turn it into a commodity.

Somewhat defeats the purpose of being an artist, doesn't it?

Eeeehhhh.

Maybe the thing to do is provide public, physical exhibits of your art in search of patronage.
