The testimonials strike me as all having the same writer's voice.

Someone needs to come up with a service that generates authentic-sounding testimonials, complete with convincing headshots.

At the very least, one of them is obviously a headshot found from somewhere else. In general for a new service, I'd rather see no testimonials than testimonials of questionable authenticity.

Agree. They should have known their technical audience would pick up on this.

Convincingly human headshots that aren't just misappropriated likenesses of a real person? Sounds like an ML master's thesis to me!

It'd probably be easier to hire a bunch of models, cheaper too! :P

No no, the point is that they're supposed to look convincing, not like models!

Model doesn't need to mean the type you'd see on the catwalk at a fashion show, you could ask random people in the street if they'd take a quick headshot for a tenner even
