"AI is not magic. Contrary to what some may want us to believe, the algorithms used by AI are not a magic wand that gives their users powers of omniscience or the ability to achieve any and everything."

Love this! I remember the first time I was inspired by anti facial recognition clothes was from hyphen labs: NeuroSpeculative AfroFeminism
Are there other clothing lines that sell anti computer vision clothes?
