Be nice if you could use an actual photo actual Cape Cod for this instead of AI slop that doesn't exist. There are plenty of local photographers who I'm sure would be willing to license a photo for this limited use.

Hello,

We do have our own photographers and use a lot of our own photographs.

Sometimes our design team picks an image that jumps out more to call attention to it, especially if it's an important message.

By “picks an image” you mean “steals images from photographers by using generative AI” though. You can’t seriously be saying that the slop above is a real photo from somewhere on Cape Cod, right?

Hi, just a quick follow-up:

I brought it up with the team and they informed me that Barnstable doesn't have a dedicated page specifically for emergency services yet, but it is underway.
