My variant is to ask a model to generate a famous painting using only SVG. Below is the result for \"The Scream\" by Edvard Munch. It captures both the progress and the way many people felt after reading about the OpenAI/HuggingFace attacks.\n\nMore paintings and results from different models can be found on [Pelican Gallery](https://pelican.koenvangilst.nl/gallery/category/modern), a website where I collect AI-generated SVG renditions of famous artworks.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/gpt-6-astra-and-the-scream", "canonical_source": "https://koenvangilst.nl/lab/gpt-6-astra-the-scream", "published_at": "2026-09-11 00:00:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-11 20:53:28.954033+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "generative-ai", "ai-products"], "entities": ["GPT-6 Astra", "Claude Fable 5.1", "Simon Willison", "Pelican Gallery", "Edvard Munch", "OpenAI", "HuggingFace"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/gpt-6-astra-and-the-scream", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/gpt-6-astra-and-the-scream.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/gpt-6-astra-and-the-scream.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/gpt-6-astra-and-the-scream.jsonld"}}
