On the contrary, I was able to get GPT to generate the logo for my website[0] in about an hour of trial and error, here's some tips:
* Give it an SVG to start with, and tell it what you want to make
* With each successive prompt, tell it to adjust only one thing
* If it ever goes backwards instead of forwards, edit your previous prompt instead of telling it to correct
* Test the SVG render outside of ChatGPT's window, since it doesn't show the bounding box or all colors properly
honestly the issue was not that it couldn't produce an SVG
it's that it wasn't good and i couldn't get it to really match my style
i feel like the midjourney flow has more potential because of your very first point -- starting with an SVG
Thanks! I know it's controversial but it has taught me a lot about building with AI, as well as the legal and copyright parts.
I experimented with a number of prompt styles this was an example of one I used on Midjourney:
"Vector line art, icon of a flower, cute and minimalistic, made with bold outline, white background --stylize 400"
thanks for sharing!

Different platform but you can do that with this: https://replicate.com/recraft-ai/recraft-v3-svg (or on Recraft itself.)
i was just playing around with SVGs yesterday and was wishing there were an easy-to-use tool out there for fiddling around. i couldn't get chatgpt 4.5 to get it quite right and ultimately abandoned it in favor of something premade
