Can a Language Model Paint?

I've been trying to get some language models to paint one stroke at a time for a few months now. I thought this community would be interested to see the results.

The article runs through my findings, and there's a linked technical rundown of how the app was built. There's also an interactive gallery [0] of my attempts. You can point an agent at the API docs [1], and they might (ymmv) do a painting themselves.

LLMs can draw (play music, write books), but they imitate, not create.

Good attempt. Compared to diffusion, these paintings look more like they were created by humans.
