Unisex with a relaxed cut, true to size, S to 4XL. Garment-dyed heavyweight tee.

AI is a plagiarism machine. Strip away the word generative and what is left is a remix engine trained on other people's labor, spitting back recombined fragments of work it never paid for, and the professor in the tee has run the same test on a dozen outputs and traced the fragments every time. Cutting through the marketing spin is the shirt. This tee cuts.

Wear it to the faculty meeting on the detection policy, the writers' conference, the copyright hearing, the English department lounge, and the family dinner where a relative says it is just a tool. It is a strong gift for an English professor, a novelist, a copyright lawyer, and the friend who traced the fragments.

The tee is a Comfort Colors 1717, garment-dyed in 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton, soft and evenly colored, with a heavier hand than a novelty tee and three lines that read across a faculty meeting on the detection policy. Direct-to-garment. It bonds with the cotton.

Unisex, relaxed, true to size. S through 4XL. Colors: Black, White, Bay, Blossom. Also Chambray, Graphite, Ivory, Banana. It is the traced-fragments entry on our anti-AI movement page.

Designed and printed to order in the USA. Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Tumble dry low. Do not bleach or iron the design.

Which color do professors pick? Black and Graphite. Chambray for the lounge.

Wear it to: the all-hands where they announce the new tool, the studio, the classroom, the town meeting about the data center.

Printing and care

Printed to order in the USA, direct to garment: water-based ink goes into the fabric rather than sitting on top, so the print stays soft and does not crack or peel.

Machine wash cold, inside out. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron the print. More on the fabric and care page.
