This applies to both NTs and us, but still:
While there has always been ways to auto generate fake profile descripions, and to some extent faces, there has always been hard to generate faces + a background. Now that "wait" is over:

You can use this ( https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/ ) to generate any number of faces, but you cannot generate a face on a theme, i.e. blond girl looking left, right, in a car, on a skateboard (etc) so if you find a profile with many pictures of someone, it is probably real.
If you're talking to someone and they only have once picture, ask to see another to make sure they are not using thins kind of thing to set you up.
Just a PSA.
