PRIVATE PREVIEW
THE DISCLAIMER
Making the small print visible
ChatGPT can make mistakes. Check important info.
A proposed physical translation of ChatGPT's interface disclaimer from screen to garment.
THE GESTURE
A small warning, made public.
ChatGPT places a quiet warning beneath every conversation.
THE DISCLAIMER moves that sentence from interface to garment — without turning it into a slogan or a joke.
DAY / NIGHT
No colorways.
The two native states of the interface.
Do not improve the disclaimer.
Preserve it.
One sentence.
One line.
No logo.
No illustration.
No exterior branding.
Exactness is the concept.
AI has moved from specialist technology into everyday culture.
Its language is moving with it.
Warnings, permissions, memory notices and expressions of uncertainty are becoming part of how people understand and negotiate life with intelligent systems.
Most of this language quickly disappears through familiarity.
THE DISCLAIMER captures one of those phrases at the moment it is becoming culturally ordinary.
It takes something millions of people see, but barely notice, and gives it physical presence.
It is about noticing the language already shaping the future.
WHY NOW
WHY OPENAI
The sentence already belongs to the ChatGPT experience.
That makes OpenAI the natural partner for taking the project beyond reference or appropriation.
An authorised collaboration would allow THE DISCLAIMER to preserve the qualities that make the original recognisable — its wording, tone and restraint — while translating it into a new medium.
The opportunity is not to add more branding.
It is to let an existing piece of ChatGPT language acquire a new cultural life.
To make fallibility visible as a form of responsibility and confidence.
An invitation to collaborate.
THE DISCLAIMER is an unpublished concept. No inventory has been manufactured or publicly launched.
We would like to explore whether THE DISCLAIMER could become an authorised limited edition or cultural collaboration with OpenAI.
The concept is intentionally restrained: no logo, no added graphics, no sloganising.
Its strength comes from preserving the existing sentence and changing only its context.
Acknowledging fallibility can be a form of confidence.
