Some users dig the seahorse image generation as a creative benchmark idea while others sarcastically dismiss the outputs as bogus and misleading about real seahorses.

@rcarmo Did that SVG come with any comments that might help explain the wheel?

@rcarmo @simonw Finally, the truth is out! Kids will finally learn how the true seahorse look like; not some bogus "underwater dragon."

New benchmark: seahorse on jetski.

@rcarmo @simonw Probably not. SVGs from design tools strip comments during export, so you're usually left reverse engineering the geometry by hand.

@simonw Nope. I literally asked it to generate a seahorse. I suppose it’s the tail, but… That beak…

@rcarmo @simonw Comments on wheels are rare. Usually you're back months later reverse-engineering why someone chose that bore.
