I'm fond of eyeball attempts to determine whether images are from

can't tell. (It's cheating to look at the alt description or the
filename.)
I'm far from an expert but I have spent a bit of time generating images
for various (mostly useless purposes) and feel there must be some
reserved, finite set of "stylizations" which even when overlayed or
convolved-with overt stylizations (e.g. in the style of a dutch master),
some kind of attractor or canalization get invoked. I wonder if there
is some sort of explicit or implicit taxonomies of stylization?
But the very prominent slur on the coin kinda sorta gives it away.
DALL-E is obviously not very safe ... or maybe it's been trained on
too much UK/Aussie content.
I almost didn't share that one because of the implied perjorative... I
forget what I asked for, I think it was "POTUS inscribed on the coin"
but was not surprised a bit when it did something else entirely, and in
fact I don't think it "knew" what it was writing... I generally ignore
any specific language that gets included in DALL-E's hallucionations,
they are so often illegible (including alphabets that probably don't
align with any real human ones) and rarely properly spelled. I also
rarely try to get it to generate any text for this reason. Even
getting a "T" on the trump spoof-sneakers I generated was nearly
impossible but one happy accident yielded a "T" that looked a lot like
it had cyrillic origens.
The second image is very reminiscent of one of the regular New Yorker
cartoonists (contemporary or past?) IMO.
