Running a Yandex reverse image search on a GAN-generated face pic sometimes returns other GAN face pics, as happened here. #ThursdayShenaniGANs
(GAN = "generative adversarial network", the AI technique used by thispersondoesnotexist.com to generate fake faces.)

The Yandex reverse image search lead us to a page featuring 4 GAN-generated face pics, supposedly specialists with a pest control company in Ulyanovsk, Russia. #ThisRoachRemovalSpecialistDoesNotExist
The pest control company in question (Marafet) has locations in a number of other cities, and many of these locations also have an alleged staff of exactly four people with GAN-generated face images.
In all, 57 of the Marafet pest control company's 70 locations appear to have exactly four employees with GAN-generated face pics, for a total of 228 images. (The other locations either feature no staff section or have pics that may be legitimate.)
Here's an animated visualization of the 228 GAN-generated pics presented as staff members on the Marafet pest control company website. As is the case with all unmodified StyleGAN-generated face pics, the major facial features are in the same position on each image.
