Ok, but it's still acceptable by any common sense standard. Besides the challenge's output is completely off. Not just that it's using just one of the characters. It spells out something else. Which is not the case here.

If someone put a gun to your head and asked you to draw hello using "#" and " ", would you use other characters like "/"?
I imagine I'd spend the next few minutes quietly pondering what sort of poor choices I made in life that lead me here and try my hardest to embrace an absurd ending to an absurd journey.
Oh wow, this suddenly became so heated! Is the gun made of # or _? Or it has to be both?

I don’t know that it is. It’s clearly a great ascii art drawing, but I don’t think chatgpt gets full marks on the test here. It just isn’t following the prompt closely enough.

Ok I see your point. Did you look at the output in the challenge? It's very different. I wonder why? Different seeds maybe.
