This is a simple bash script that downloads images from https://www.thispersondoesnotexist.com. In very short intervalls (it appears to be each reload of the page but it isn't), a new image of an artificially generated face is loaded. This script uses wget to loop through a given number of times, downloading the images. It stores them in the format .jpg (for example 20201211164854.jpg). Because of the timestamp precision and to avoid duplicates, the delay between each download iteration ("delay"-parameter) should take at least 1 second.
