#22The 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.

#23You have a domain, why not get a domain email? Seeing a firstname.lastname [at] gmail loses the professional feeling the website is giving off.
Because near everything about this appears to be a low effort scam. The gmail is to add to the "authenticity" of the scammer being 16, because this way they can add a presumed birthyear, wheras with domain email it would make no sense. Proof is in that the address williamcranna@gmail.com is avaliable, which would be the first thing a reasonable person would have tried, before adding the year like a dickhead.

#24Isn't this just quickly generated by Lovable?
The user has no background, and I couldn't find any info on the creator itself.

#25Maybe some inspiration from Germany: Linda Büscher did the same while graduating. Press coverage at Business Insider https://www.businessinsider.de/gruenderszene/business/20-jae... Her product https://www.bulletpoint.app/
local here, thanks for pointing out on that!
looks like she made a super super decent job, and this at her age - wow!
If i would be a VC, i would spend only 5 min on the product and hand them 500k without any discussion :)

#26“I've always struggled to make sense of my notes and figure out what to study. Notiv gave me a clear plan and helped me actually retain the material. Bringing my GPA up by 0.9 points in just one semester.” This sounds kind of fake, like a character playing a customer saying good things about your product.
Sound AI to me tbh... But not sure. If it's actually a 16 y/o then they might just be using AI for better grammar and writing.
Only God knows how much I needed better grammar when I was 16. Tbh I still do.. LoL

#29There appears to be a pattern of posts where "I'm 16 / 17 etc" as a prefix gets the hits. And rightly so! It's very good that young people are engaged. It's encouraging for us grey beards interested in the future of technology and a healthy action for us old people to encourage younger people. As my beard gets greyer so my pattern recognition library of samples gets bigger and it has recognised a "I'm 16" prefix to p…
It is obviously a clickbait thing and it works.
