It's a great day to look at a retweet botnet that uses GAN-generated profile pics and likes cymbals. #ThisCymbalDoesNotExist #MondayShenaniGANs

This botnet consists of (at least) 1301 accounts created between November 2020 and May 2021. Although most have tweeted dozens of times, none has liked more than two tweets. Thus far, they have (allegedly) sent all of their tweets via the Twitter Web App.
All 1301 accounts in this botnet uses GAN-generated face images as their profile pics, similar to those generated by thispersondoesnotexist.com. Almost all of the bots' profile pics are female.
