It can be sites that will 'pretend' you like their site, and so add in a directory-like structure to feature your scraped content - and sometimes it is a random image with a few words, today might be AI. It is not built to last, it is built to try to gain authority, if temporarily. Google is aware of it and usually you won't be able to find any of those links are functional. It must assist them somehow if only for a moment. It is automated and your site was not personally chosen.
Are you seeing any listed in your GSC? If so, you can ignore them, they will disappear.
