I think this may already be happening. I have two friends that were catfish blackmailed on dating sites recently. Including convincing pictures that could not be reverse image searched, nudes etc. Ultimate goal in one case was extortion, in the other it may just have been acquiring nudes.
No way to be sure they weren't manual, just looking at some of the chats my friends shared, they were well within the realm of what could be achieved with GPT-2 level systems. And mostly echoing the sentiments my friends were expressing, or escalating the conversation in fairly stereotypical ways. Most dating chat / sexting is pretty superficial initially. If this isn't automated already, it's purely due to lack of sophistication on the part of the attackers, there's no technical issue.
