Is motortrend.com Safe?

Fraudulently uses AI-generated article images without disclosure. See their website news article "The Dirtiest Side of EVs: Rare Earths and Conflict Metals" on April 25, 2024. If website staff attempt to cover up this malicious behavior, "Archive dot org" can be used to view old versions of the page that display evidence of the behavior. Use of fully artificial, AI-generated imagery without disclosure represents egregious fraudulent behavior and deception to site visitors who have a reasonable expectation that a website's images are authentic, real, and genuine photos, images, or art. In addition, failure to disclose AI-generated content means this site may use AI-generated articles or even AI-generated audio (e.g. podcasts), without informing its audience, in a fraudulent and immoral attempt to gain profit. For this reason, this site cannot be trusted. 1 out of 5.
