The user images look AI-generated, based on e.g. the fingers in https://www.notiv.app/lovable-uploads/9224843e-e523-4691-951... I think this is inherently dishonest because it's made to look like they're real users. Is the image and testimonial from "Conner" on the Features page also fake?

I don't see any signs of AI in the image, also the book in his hands is a real book, usually AI messes up those kind of things.

I thought "toi la mot con Lua" was French for "You, the word with Lua!", the well-known, but not to me, scripting bible.

Turns out I misread the Unicode, and it is actually "Tôi Là Một Con Lừa", which is Vietnamese for "I am a donkey", which probably makes it suitable reading material for yours truly.

It's a stock photo most likely

None of the images are fake, most of them are from a free licensing site. And the Conner photo is my friend.
