"AI-Generated Images of Jesus Spark Controversy Among Facebook Users"

Facebook is inundated with bizarre AI-generated images, including depictions of Jesus and flight attendants, garnering millions of engagements and leaving users amused, befuddled, and wary of potential scams. The images, often lacking systematic labeling, have raised concerns about the spread of misleading content and disinformation. A Stanford study found that some of the images were posted from hijacked Facebook pages and may be used to bait gullible users for potential scam targets. The phenomenon has also led to suspicions of AI-generated content being used for spam and scam activities, with some users receiving suspicious replies from newly created accounts.
