Screenshot of a GitHub Codespaces VS Code interface showing a README.md file for codespaces-llm repository. The file describes a GitHub Codespaces environment with LLM, Python 3.13, uv and the GitHub Copilot VS Code extension. It has a "Launch Codespace" button. Below shows a terminal tab with the command "llm 'Fun facts about pelicans'" which has generated output listing 5 pelican facts: 1. **Huge Beaks:** about their enormous beaks and throat pouches for scooping fish and water, some over a foot long; 2. **Fishing Technique:** about working together to herd fish into shallow water; 3. **Great Fliers:** about being strong fliers that migrate great distances and soar on thermals; 4. **Buoyant Bodies:** about having air sacs beneath skin and bones making them extra buoyant; 5. **Dive Bombing:** about Brown Pelicans diving dramatically from air into water to catch fish. d04e2d3e0ef61af0.png Okay, the user asked for an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle. Thatโ€™s... oddly specific and completely unrealistic.

First reaction: Pelicans donโ€™t ride bicycles. Theyโ€™re birds that fly or swim, not human-like vehicles. This feels like a mix-upโ€”maybe they meant โ€œa cyclistโ€ but typed โ€œpelicanโ€? Or perhaps itโ€™s a joke?

Hmm, user might be:

    A kid playing with words (pelican + bicycle = silly combo)
    Someone testing if Iโ€™ll generate impossible images
    Actually wanting a pelican on a bike for art project? But that still doesnโ€™t make sense biologically

Checks SVG capabilities SVG is for vector graphics, but this request violates physics and biology. If I tried to draw it literally:

    Pelican would be too big for a bike frame
    Bike wheels would be tiny compared to bird wings
    No realistic way to show โ€œridingโ€ since pelicans donโ€™t have legs for pedaling
