This might seem a rather basic question - but what is the purpose of the originator posting these questionable AI produced images and films ? Do they make money out of them ? Is the intended audience actually remarkably gullible ?

I can give my "best guess" - generating this type of "content" builds videos that plenty of folks find the supposed subject of the video interesting - but then feel driven to comment.
Comments, likes and views are the measure of success on these videos, so it doesn't matter a jot if the comments are:
"Wow, what a fantastic video"
Or
"Wow, what a load of tripe!"
