About three years ago, a bunch of accounts with GAN-generated faces moved their companies to Las Vegas, where their companies were nearly destroyed. #NewYearsShenaniGANs

The duplicate tweets about moving a company to Las Vegas are from a botnet consisting of 37 accounts created on Sept 28th/29th, 2022. All 37 accounts have GAN-generated face pics, and (with the exception of a few early tweets) all tweet exclusively via automation service IFTTT.
GAN-generated face pics (at least, the ones in common usage generated by StyleGAN) have the telltale trait that the major facial features (especially the eyes) are in the same location on every image. This becomes obvious when the images are blended together.
