A report for Insider by Evan Ratliff found numerous firms putting pictures of computer-generated "people" on their websites to suggest they have more staff.
AI-generated images are reportedly being used by company websites to put up fake employees on their website, thinking it'll make them look "bigger" and more "credible."
The police department press release also includes a link to a video of the incident with a graphic content warning noting that some people may find the footage "inappropriate."
