TFW your human resources department consists of thirteen "HR Professionals" with GAN-generated faces. #HRShenaniGANs #NotQuiteExactlyHumanResources

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

The GAN-tastic HR professionals are part of a network of 53 accounts created between May and July 2022. All have GAN-generated face pics, and none has tweeted since August 12th. When active, they tweeted exclusively via the Twitter Web App and took at least one day a week off.

Many of the images used by this network have been stretched or cropped, preventing them from being flagged as GAN-generated by facial feature position. They still contain anomalies, however: disappearing glasses, mismatched earrings, and surreal clothing/jewelry/backgrounds, etc.

Every account in this network follows at least one other member of the network, and most of them follow and are followed by several of the other accounts in the network.

What does this network actually tweet? Most of the content is retweets of cryptocurrency/NFT content, although random viral tweets (usually pretty pictures) turn up occasionally as well.

Here's a paste of the IDs of the 53 accounts in this network: pastebin.com/fXjCFL1g
