Are these sentences machine generated?
No. They come from the site's own dictionary examples, graded readers, travel phrasebook and grammar library — all written by a person. A word with no sentence gets no page here, rather than a page of invented ones.
Why do some sentences show 川 inside a longer word?
Because that is where a single character usually lives. Seeing 川 inside the words it builds is how the character stops being an isolated symbol and starts being something you can read.
