I have friends and relatives on Facebook who repost not these Jesus things, but other categories of similar AI-generated garbage. The ones I've seen the most of are fake houses - elaborate log cabins in the woods with massive swimming pools that melt into the wall if you look too closely, and recently a lot of fake eclipse photos from my more scientifically-minded but not-too-critical-thinking friends.
Like the ones described in this article, they come from pages that churn them out, and they get tens or hundreds of thousands of comments, likes, and reposts. For a while I'd scroll through them looking to see if anybody was saying anything other than "WOW!!", and you'd get the occasional "ur so stupd, this is AI" followed by a bunch of people saying "who cares if it's real or not", etc. I guess there's money somewhere in engagement hacking? I followed one to a web site that claimed to be a design company, but it was just post after post of machine-generated impossible objects, so I don't quite see where any of this is meant to go. (google "volkswagen bus hot tub" to find easy examples)
