Meta, the operator of Facebook, has announced that it has removed a network of accounts that post fake news about Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The network reports anti-Ukrainian fake news using accounts impersonating fictitious people such as news editors, aviation engineers, and authors of scientific publications, as well as accounts disguised as fictitious news outlets. It has been pointed out that the profile image of an account impersonating a fictitious person uses a profile image generated using artificial intelligence (AI) related technologies such as hostile generation networks (GANs).

Below is one of the fictitious profile images created by AI. According to the post, the setting of this fictional character is 'a blogger from Kyiv, Ukraine, whose name is Vladimir Bondarenko. He hates the Ukrainian government.'

I want you all to meet Vladimir Bondarenko.
He's a blogger from Kiev who really hates the Ukrainian government.
He also doesn't exist, according to Facebook.
He's an invention of a Russian troll farm targeting Ukraine. His face was made by AI. Pic.twitter.com/uWslj1Xnx3
The profile of this fictional character seems to have been posted on a fake media called 'Ukraine Today'. The profile says, 'Although I was originally an aviation engineer, the'collapse' of Ukraine's aviation infrastructure forced me to write a blog.'
There are multiple grounds for finding out that a fictitious profile image is made by AI, one of which, Collins cites 'characteristic ears.' This ear seems to be one of the features that comes out when using a service that creates images of fictitious people called This Person Does Not Exist .
“Vladimir” has a whole backstory on the Ukraine Today website. He was an aviation engineer, until he was forced into blogging when Ukraine's aviation infrastructure “collapsed.”

He also has weird ears, which is what happens when you make a face on https://t.co/Gr3BMTJttU pic.twitter.com/n0ogfNXhqT
In addition, a person named Irina Kerimova, a colleague of Vladimir Bondarenko, has also been revealed to be a fictitious person created by AI. The woman's profile says, 'I became the editor-in-chief of the Russian propaganda website in 2017, and before that I was a guitar instructor.' The profile image of the woman does not seem to be strange, but it is 'suspicious' because the left and right earrings are different.
Vladimir's coworker Irina Kerimova from Kharkiv was also AI-generated.

She was a private guitar teacher (?) until she became editor-in-chief of this Russian propaganda website in 2017. Quite a promotion!
Also, interesting choice of mismatched earrings. Pic.twitter.com/lor2gVsV4M
