One use I have seen for AI is making interesting/grotesque pictures:

        Trump praying alone in church... with 6 fingers.

        Crab Jesus (there are many variations on this theme).

I found one (using my phone) with Jesus about ready to slam down on a robot in
street fight. I cannot find it again; the faces in the crowd are mostly quite
grotesque, almost non-human. What the heck I'll post it:

You can also find Jesus laying hands on Trump and other fictitious memes.
