The headshots of the customer testimonials are all stock images and not the people they say are giving the testimonials. Makes me very skeptical that the testimonials are real or any of the stats on the page are real.

This stuck out like a sore thumb to me.

Makes the rest of the copy and the claims made about as trustworthy as the authenticity of the images, for me anyway.

They are AI generated
not AI
Why are you representing that these people were your clients, when, by all indications, they are not. It would be a tremendous coincidence if all of your clients also happen to be models for stock photos in their spare time of also being employed in unrelated jobs in tech.

You have been caught trying to pass fake images as real on your site, and now you are trying to get off on a technicality (These aren't AI!).

This isn't a good look for a project that needs authenticity and trust at the core. Why would I put one of the most consequential professional interactions in a my career (finding the next job) into the hands of people that deride fair criticism (see what you said when someone asked for your "about" page) and that are willing to actively deceive when called out.
