I disagree. There's references to this exact same picture going back just over 2 years ago in social media. Which would be like the Middle Ages in AI terms. Photo editing software has been around for ages but nothing that could be called AI. They were just filters applied with improved sophistication over the years. It does appear that the picture has been manipulated one way or another. There's examples with the figure on top and examples without the figure on top. Both show some odd pixelization in the area of the figure.
It could be feasible from a practical point of view. If everything is to the same scale it's a cross shaped cross section probably about a yard for x and y. The thickness of each wing is probably about 8-9". Can't really see how high it is but if it's not too high and anchored deep the bending moment from the cable tension would be minimal. Of course the rat's nest is a huge question. But if you look around you find plenty of pictures of smaller rat's nests on smaller poles. Without the technician trying to hatch a new idea..........

This image was around before A.I though, as have seen it numerous times around in the past.
Also A.I generated images do not create the artifacts one can see in the image.

It is not a creation, that was my main point.

Oh, for the love of heaven, if you believe this is a documentary photograph, completely unaltered . . .
It's a fabrication.

Original photo of "nest", human avian had been inserted only. Pretty much me with CoPilot configuration or misconfigs.

Exactly how I felt as a Project Manager for multiple Building Automation installations running simultaneously!

When I lived in MA I used to do work at a well known hotel in Boston. Old one so not a chain, single site. They had fibre and ethernet patch cables strung every which way between the three racks. Tried to convince them it was best to correct things before something bad happens since I was constantly threading my way through 8-10 cables every trip. Kind of like what you see in the movies of someone trying to thread their way through security lasers/light beams. You know how some people are afraid of doing anything, especially with really old equipment? Like they might upset the balance of karma and then nothing will work. LOL!!!

Or worse - the dreaded "ever since you were here" call - some random little thing stops working. We had a busy chiro office that was an old house converted into office space. Wires......everywhere running in random directions installed by....multiple contractors over the years. It was horrible. Spent an entire day toning crap out once, only identified about half the runs, haha.

I wish I could LOL at that, but I've been around many instances of where someone "fixing" something that literally "ain't broke" has brought down the entire "house of cards."
After several small scale instances of this happening to me, I really started sticking to the old saw, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Leave that to the time when something has already really finally crashed and burned and the time has come to rebuild from scratch. Also, any time you trace cable runs, and can do it, use tape labels at each terminus noting what it's for and where the other end is. I even do this when it comes to plugs on computer and other equipment and power strips when I deal with them (and I do it at home).
