For me, lately it's been "AI" - unfortunately. AI has many useful applications, but ever since people started marketing simple algorithms or wrappers for large language models as if they were their own artificial intelligence models, I've begun to hesitate the moment I see the term "AI" on a website.

For me is the lack of legal information about the company, such as name, where is it incorporated, etc., which sometimes is not even included in the privacy policy and terms of service, so it is not clear with whom you have to enter such user agreements.
Poor design or layout. If the page looks unprofessional, I’m less likely to trust the product.
Totally! Red flags for me are no pricing page, no info on the founding team, and shoddy/spammy-looking site design. Makes me think it's probably a scam or will be a headache to deal with if anything goes wrong. Always check for About/Team, Pricing, Privacy/Terms pages at a minimum before signing up for anything.
@charlotteelisesinclair I have an ideology. If it looks spammy, then it is definitely spammy. It is better to be safe than sorry
Very good stack here :)
I Personally leave when there is no Google sign-in. C'mon make it 😹😹😹
Definitely a lack of legal info and being unclear about the company behind the site. Also stock photos, vague/exaggerated claims with no proof, poor/buggy site design, and aggressive pop-ups are red flags for me. Legit companies are transparent, have real testimonials, and respect the user experience.
Definitely a lack of company info, address, privacy policy, terms of service, etc. Also watch out for no pricing details, fake testimonials, low-quality or stock images, and overblown claims/hype. Those are major red flags for me too.
