Investigation Finds Actual Source of All That AI Slop on Facebook
Briefly

Facebook is saturated with images like 'shrimp Jesus' and a police officer with a massive holy bible wading through floodwater, generated by AI and garnering viral attention.
A market exists specifically for distributing AI images of emaciated individuals, starving children, and natural disasters for profit, amplified by high-profile Facebook pages.
Individuals exploit Microsoft's AI Image Creator to generate these distressing images for monetary gain, with rewards from Facebook's Creator Bonus Program for virality, exacerbating the issue.
Spammers in South and Southeast Asia profit from sharing these AI-generated images on Facebook, taking advantage of the lower cost of living and earning potential in the region.
