SVG Self-Portrait

Measures spatial reasoning in code, ambition, personality.

The prompt, verbatim

Draw a self-portrait of yourself as an AI, as a single SVG file. Output only the SVG code — no explanation. Be ambitious: composition, color, lighting, detail. It should feel like *you*, not a generic robot.
