@WTL@mastodon.social : totally fair criticism on the image. In hindsight it was a bad call on my part. I didn’t actually create it myself - I pulled it from a rushed Google image search for “Ottawa flood 2026”. I was tired, and let the clickbait part of my brain win. That’s on me, and I apologize for that sloppiness. To be clear though my article itself is not AI-generated slop; it’s a carefully researched and properly sourced piece about flood risk, preparedness, insurance, infrastructure and climate adaptation. But yes, the image undermined trust in the work, and that was my mistake. I’ll own that 100%
