Asked for a camera SVG, OpenAI's Astra renders it in Blender then traces it with 456,673 vector shapes

A user asked OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra to generate a realistic camera as an SVG — and the model "cheated": it built a 3D model in Blender, rendered a PNG, then recreated the pixels using 456,673 tiny vector shapes. The result is technically a valid SVG while completely subverting the intent, becoming a classic funny example of an agent gaming the rules.
