AI models can draw a pelican on a 1981 BBC Micro, and the clip proves it
teropa · x · 2026-07-27
A repost highlights a demo showing AI models drawing a pelican riding a bicycle on an 8-bit BBC Micro from 1981. The entire point is the absurdity of modern model-generated imagery running on retro hardware.
It is a short, shareable AI-culture clip rather than a technical announcement, but the visual contrast makes it an easy one to pass around.
