AI overview

Simon Willison shared a prompt asking Claude Opus 5.5 High to build an artifact that opens a photo and paints a version of it using a canvas element and a simulated paintbrush. The prompt calls for the painting to take a few seconds; it describes the requested behavior, rather than establishing the artifact’s performance. Willison also linked to an earlier experiment in which he asked Claude Fable to simulate a watercolor illustration with P5.js.
