I remember seeing these in the 2000s on road trips - real cell tower, fake tree for camouflage
no, its a cell tower poorly disguised as a tree.
This is what happens when the libs start banning round up!
Amen 🙏
Who’s gonna tell them? 🤣
Maybe it’s the focus, but it looks AI-generated to me (not saying it is, just looks like it to me).
But yeah, even if it is, it’s still a common practice to disguise cell towers like that.
It’s not AI and it’s not fake. (Well it’s a fake tree, but the image is real.) It’s a regular cell phone tower intentionally decorated like a tree to make it “blend in” because some cities require that. TIL That these aren’t as common as I thought lol Here in my state we have both pine/redwood (like this) and palm tree types.
Yes… Overgrowing. Totally not camoflauge because locals are like we want better mobile coverage but we don’t want to see the mobile tower.
It’s an AI image anyway…
I think it might be real. It looks a lot like some of the images here: https://99percentinvisible.org/article/botanical-imperative-why-cellular-network-towers-get-disguised-as-trees/
maybe? but these do exist.
Why does literally EVERYONE say “it’s AI” when they just don’t understand or like something? Not everything is an AI image or video
I can’t wait until A.I. image gen gets really good and then somebody on Lemmy will claim every single picture ever made is A.I. I really can’t wait.

We have these exact towers in the city in which I grew up. This is not AI generated. It is supposed to blend in more with the scenery except that trees there top out at half the height of the towers in nearly all cases.
