Bizarre AI-generated images are currently flooding Facebook, as engagement hacks and bots run rampant on the social media platform, spawning a meme-worthy image that has been dubbed “Shrimp Jesus.”“Shrimp Jesus” is a surreal, often unsettling depiction of Jesus Christ fused with sea creatures such as crabs and shrimp.
Young internet users have grown up in the age of misinformation and witnessed the rise of AI-generated images; many have adapted by learning to spot the clues. The aim is to push these AI-generated images onto the timelines of as many real Facebook users as possible, potentially redirecting them to content farms and other low-quality sites.
