  I used that “not a real person” face generation site to create a photo to sign up for the sake of curiosity and to see what the services were like in case I wanted to sign up for one for like friend matchmaking or whatever (not to catfish or anything, just don’t want my face all up in there), but after uploading the photo, then it started asking for an absolute gob of personal data and I noped out. Not worth it.
