A year or so ago I was trying to get llms to make pixel art by asking them to create a 2d array of color codes. I'm no prompt guru but they all failed at anything beyond a basic shape. I tried at many resolutions from 16x16, 32x32, 64x64, and maybe a little larger but basically only then quit small ones were even recognizeable.

There’s a related benchmark along these lines that uses an LLM with a discrete “instructive graphic language” to get models to generate Minecraft voxel structures with varying degrees of success.

This is picking the wrong tool for the job twice over. Half of it is seeing if text-to-image mechanics exist in general purpose LLMs, the other half is seeing if they can reason their way about generating the 2d array. Imagine asking this of yourself and doing it through just a train of thought. Yes, I could probably draw a basic smiley face in the color of your choice in a 16x16 without antialiasing in 15 minutes.
