AI-generated photos

Four images on this site are AI-generated illustrations, made 10 November 2026 with Muse’s media pipeline. Each one is captioned “Illustrative photo (AI-generated)” where it appears. They show generic, unbranded products in a real-home style — they are not photos of any named product in our guides, and they are not test results. They are placeholders until real at-home test photos exist.

• Power station running a lamp and charging a phone (Guide: Portable Power Stations, hero).
• Fuel generator outdoors with a carbon monoxide alarm (Guide: Portable Power Stations).
• Walking pad under a standing desk (Guide: Walking Pads, hero).
• Walking pad folded flat under a sofa (Guide: Walking Pads).

Not used

• Whisker / Litter-Robot media kit (litter-robot.com/eu/media.html) — checked 10 November 2026. The page states all content is owned by Whisker and gives no clear free-use terms, so no brand photos were used. Permission would be needed before using any.
• Furbo press kit — sits inside the Awin affiliate network, which we have not joined, so it was not accessed.
• Three licensed Pexels photos were downloaded and verified but not placed yet (spares): solar panel on a roof with greenery (Kindel Media), woman with a robot vacuum in a living room (cottonbro studio), person working at an adjustable desk (Standsome Worklifestyle).

Rules we follow

• Own photos first — phone photos are fine.
• Unsplash and Pexels photos are credited to the photographer even though the licence does not require it.
• Wikimedia Commons / public domain: licence checked per file, attribution as the licence requires.
• Brand press assets only with permission.
• Realistic AI photos, if ever used, are labelled "Illustrative photo (AI-generated)" in the caption and are never passed off as a test result.
• No photos lifted from Reddit, X, Google Images, Pinterest or competitor sites. No drawn diagrams or clip art.
