I took this photo with my iPhone SE 2020

One of the features DALL-E 2 has is that you can upload a photo and either edit it, or produce variations. I opted to produce variations to see what it would do, and how well it could edit a real building - would it mess up the corners and windows like it does when it generates a building purely from your text input. Here are the results (spoilers, it still messes up architecture):

So it would seem that generally DALL-E 2 is just not good at generating buildings, and possibly even vegetation as it has done some weird things with trees in some of these.
