Why are you representing that these people were your clients, when, by all indications, they are not. It would be a tremendous coincidence if all of your clients also happen to be models for stock photos in their spare time of also being employed in unrelated jobs in tech.

You have been caught trying to pass fake images as real on your site, and now you are trying to get off on a technicality (These aren't AI!).

This isn't a good look for a project that needs authenticity and trust at the core. Why would I put one of the most consequential professional interactions in a my career (finding the next job) into the hands of people that deride fair criticism (see what you said when someone asked for your "about" page) and that are willing to actively deceive when called out.
