Why do AI models keep drawing strange pelicans?

Original: Why do LLM pelicans look like this?

A discussion on why large language models produce oddly consistent, distorted pelican drawings is gaining attention online. Asking AI systems to generate a picture of a pelican has become a popular informal test of their image-generation abilities, and the results tend to share the same strange quirks.
