Meet @youpress19801, a blue check verified cryptocurrency account with the display name "Jeremy" and a female GAN-generated face. #VerifiedShenaniGANs

(GAN = "generative adversarial network", the AI technology used by thispersondoesnotexist.com and similar tools)

One telltale trait of unmodified GAN-generated faces (at least, those in common use) is that the primary facial features (especially eyes) are in the same position on every image, regardless of the angle of the head. This becomes obvious when multiple images are blended together.
There are several additional signs that @youpress19801's profile image is GAN-generated, including the surreal background and the random fragments of clothing and hair hanging in midair to the right of the face.
