That's their modern logo. AI probably talks about early-eighties when there was no internet yet. Problem is that crowned lion is sooo popular and there are hundreds of projects / organizations using it.
Lazarus 2.3.0 (rev main-2_3-2863...) FPC 3.3.1 x86_64-linux-qt Chakra, Qt 4.8.7/5.13.2, Plasma 5.17.3
Lazarus 1.8.2 r57369 FPC 3.0.4 i386-win32-win32/win64 Wine 3.21

Maybe there was a old logo with a Lion (but I have serious doubt about this).
And choosing a Lion is, like you said, so common ( and this animal is stupid and is absolutely not nice and eats his children, ... ).

AI must take a break.

[EDIT] Indeed, the coat of arms of the canton of Zurich uses lions:

But it is the canton, not the university of the town Zurich.

I came back to ChatGPT.

Q: You said the lion was used as logo for Pascal in reference of the ETH Zurich where Wirth invented the program.  But i did not find something that can refer to a lion.  Can you explain ?

A: I apologize for the confusion. After looking into it further, I cannot find any information that suggests the lion was used as a logo for Pascal in reference to the ETH Zurich where Wirth invented the language.

In fact, the original Pascal logo designed by Wirth himself in the 1970s did not feature a lion. It was a stylized letter "P" with the top half resembling a loop, and the bottom half resembling a stem. The design was simple and elegant, and was intended to reflect the simplicity and elegance of the Pascal language.

The lion logo you mentioned is often associated with the Free Pascal compiler, which is an open-source implementation of the Pascal language. The logo features a stylized lion head with a crown, and it is often used to represent the compiler and the Pascal language more generally.

I apologize for any confusion I may have caused, and I hope this clarifies things for you.

Q: Are you sure Free Pascal compiler logo  is a lion ?

A: I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. The Free Pascal compiler logo does not actually feature a lion, but rather a stylized depiction of the ancient Egyptian god Anubis, who was often associated with mummification and the afterlife.

The logo depicts Anubis with a stylized head and headdress, surrounded by a circle. The design is intended to reflect the qualities of reliability, stability, and precision that are important in programming, and it has become closely associated with the Free Pascal compiler and the Pascal language more broadly.

Once again, I apologize for any confusion I may have caused, and I hope this clarification helps.

Q: You say anything wrong. The logo of Free Pascal is a cheetah. You need to take a break.

A: I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. You are correct that the logo of the Free Pascal compiler features a cheetah, not a lion or Anubis as I previously mentioned. The cheetah is depicted in a stylized and minimalist manner, with an emphasis on speed and agility, which are important qualities for a compiler.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention and I apologize for any confusion or misinformation I may have caused. As an AI language model, I strive to provide accurate and helpful information, but I may occasionally make errors.

Q: Where ca i see the original Pascal logo designed by Wirth himself in the 1970s ?

A: The original Pascal logo designed by Niklaus Wirth in the 1970s is shown on the title page of his book "Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs," which was published in 1976. The logo is a simple and elegant design that features a stylized letter "P" with the top half resembling a loop, and the bottom half resembling a stem. The design is meant to reflect the simplicity and elegance of the Pascal language.

You can find the title page of Wirth's book online through various sources, including some digital libraries and online booksellers. You may also be able to find images of the original logo through online searches, although the quality and accuracy of these images may vary.

Does somebody have that book: ?

BTW, You can look with ISBN 978-0-13-022418-7 at Amazon, there is no Logo on the Book. I thinkit is a urban legend of ChatGPT

Pffff, in a time where it is difficult to find the truth, ChatGPT is coming to kill this concept.
Welcome to the new cycle where truth dont have any sense anymore.
