I wonder if the issue is that AIs just have no idea how to draw a clock. Or, is it that they've been trained on papers where doctors talk about the various issues patients sometimes have when drawing clocks.

I suspect it's probably the first one. AIs seem to have a real problem with anything visually complicated. One of the easiest ways to spot AI slop is to look at the logos on t-shirts.
