It may be a joke, but I think this is correct.

For reasons, I have tried to get Stable Diffusion to put parrots into spacesuits. Always ended up with the beak coming out where the visor glass should've been, either no wings at all or wings outside the suit, legs and torso just human-shaped.

ChatGPT got the helmet right, but their wings and tail (and sometimes claws) were exposed to vacuum, still very much closer to a human in either a normal or scifi space suit that happens to also be wearing a parrot head inside the space suit, and has tacked some costume wings on the outside.

Essentially, it's got the same category of wrong as fantasy art's approach to what women's armour should look like: aesthetics are great, but it would be instantly lethal if done for real.

My more advanced prompt, for when models do a good job on the original, is this one:

> Generate an SVG of a California brown pelican riding a bicycle. The bicycle must have spokes and a correctly shaped bicycle frame. The pelican must have its characteristic large pouch, and there should be a clear indication of feathers. The pelican must be clearly pedaling the bicycle. The image should show the full breeding plumage of the California brown pelican.

Thereafter: Design a bike that an actual pelican can learn to ride in real life.
