I love this shirt! Here's a nice video from the actual designer about the process of making this shirt (including intentionally making it hard to OCR): https://youtu.be/jocGLiecpjU?t=526

It would probably be quicker to type it in than figure out how to OCR it. It would be like typing in a game from a COMPUTE! magazine 45 years go.

At least that stuff was written in cleartext. You'd immediately know you just typed the wrong character if you saw PRONT on your screen.
Author here. Thank you so much for the link which I hadn't seen! I'm very happy to see this and I'm gratified that it was deliberately difficult to OCR, not just me.
But it's not hard to OCR? And I don't know why the article dedicates an entire section to it.
On a Samsung S24U I held down the "circle to search" homescreen button which brings up the AI tools interface (I don't know what it's officially called), held down on the text and copied the whole thing in one shot.
It took like 2 seconds.
Did it get every character correct?
I watched the link but I didn’t see where he talked about making it difficult to OCR? What exactly was done that made it difficult to OCR?
