It's not that DALL-E2 has a lack of stylistic continuity, or "wholeness" in the image. That's just how it comes across to an untrained eye. That's what engineers are working hard to fix, but it can't fill the uncanny valley. What you're really perceiving is that every detail in the human work has humor. The humor runs through it; everything, mistakes and all, is shot through with what we visually can see as a sense of the personality of the person who drew it. Not that an AI can't imitate each one, but it can only think inside the conceptual box of what it's trained to imitate. For instance, the first graphic concept that came to my mind about astronauts playing basketball in space with cats would be to have the whole scene of a cat dunking in space shown in the reflection of an astronaut's visor. The raw literal image is cheap crap without the viewer seeing some human perspective that's trying to be conveyed... in other words, engineers need to go to art school because they're misunderstanding the value proposition behind human-made art.
