Cat memes being re-done using Aai

I look at cat memes religiously, and in the past couple weeks have noticed new iterations of old memes where the joke is the same, the background is the same (or at leasf similar enough), but the cats look totally different.

At first I thought it was a photoshop job by someone who couldn't think up something original, but the more I see these new iterations, the more I'm convinced someone, for whatever reason, just wants to have different cats in these old memes.
