GPT redrew a TikZ picture in Picasso style inside the project folder and compiled it

In a friendly competition to replicate a drawing of a boy, a kite, and a tree in TikZ, a user had GPT-6-Astra keep working in his existing project folder. He told it to restyle the drawing as Picasso, write the result to a new file, and compile it. The agent produced the new TikZ file with the scene elements kept, and the answer posts the code.

How it works

  1. He points GPT-6-Astra at the folder holding the earlier versions
  2. He asks for a Picasso style version written to mweP.tex and compiled, keeping the tree, kite, and boy
  3. The agent writes the new TikZ artwork file and compiles it
  4. He posts the code as his entry

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent worked inside the folder of earlier attempts, treated the drawing as code, and shipped a compiled restyle as a new file next to them.
