Twitter bot/sock networks with GAN-generated profile pics seem be increasingly common these days. We took a look at a newly-hatched retweet network that uses these digital fabrications. #SaturdayShenaniGANs

This network consists of 21 accounts, all created on August 1st, 2nd, or 14th 2020, and all of which have GAN-generated female face pics. (The networks we've previously seen using AI face pics have generally been mixed-gender.) 
The structure of the network is interesting: there are two primary accounts (@nataargazka and @Galina85390771), both of which are followed by the other 19 members of the network (none of which follow each other).
What does this retweet network amplify? It's kinda all over the map - there's a bit of a New York theme, sports stuff, and both left and right-wing political content (sometimes retweeted by the same account), among other things.
Here are some examples of tweets from political accounts retweeted by this botnet. Among the more interesting tweets amplified is an unsourced rumor from #resistance rumormonger @Baligubadle1 about cops locking mailboxes in NY and CA.
(This isn't the first time we've seen the @Baligubadle1 account, it was the originator of the viral "William Barr visited Ghislaine Maxwell in jail" hoax a few weeks back.)
