AI adds too many details. When a person draws an anime/cartoon character they will usually put in minimal details or they'll simply paste the character on to an existing background (that could've been drawn by a different artist).
AI doesn't have human limitations so it'll often add a ton of unnecessary details to a given scene. This is why the most convincing AI-generated anime pictures are of one or two characters in a very simple setting (e.g. a plain street/sidewalk) or even a white or gradient background.
Humans can tell when art was put together by different artists. Such as when the background is a completely different style. AI doesn't differentiate like that and will make the entire image using the exact style given by the prompt. So it'll all look like it was "drawn" using the same exact style... Even though anime/cartoons IRL aren't that uniform.
