About

Where It Began

It began with conversations - at work, in everyday life, and around the dinner table. Everyone had an opinion on AI: some all-in, some strongly against, and very few comfortable being somewhere in between. At the same time, AI was rapidly becoming part of how we work and live. It felt like the early internet - full of doubt, excitement, and uncertainty - yet ultimately unavoidable. We went looking for merch that captured that moment: something sharp, funny, and honest about how people actually relate to AI today. We couldn’t find it. So we made what we wanted to wear. That became Artificially Funny Merch.


Our Take on AI

AI is a tool. You’re the skill. We believe AI is powerful, but neither blind adoption nor outright rejection makes sense. The value is in balance. AI can help you move faster, handle repetition, and spark ideas - but it shouldn’t replace thinking. If you rely on it for understanding or judgment, you risk losing the skills that make you valuable. AI isn’t always right. That’s why it matters to stay critical, question outputs, and know when something doesn’t add up. Be smart enough to question AI. That’s the point.


Who Gets It

This is for people who have a perspective - or are starting to form one.
 
You might use AI daily.
You might be skeptical about it.
You might enjoy it but still question where it’s going.
 
Either way, you recognize that this shift matters. Our designs aren’t meant to explain themselves to everyone. They’re made for the people who immediately get the reference, the joke, or the statement - because they’ve been part of the same conversations. You don’t have to fully agree with AI, or fully reject it. Most people don’t. And that’s exactly who this is for.

AI Culture

  • Every Prompt Has a Footprint

    Every Prompt Has a Footprint

    AI feels effortless, but every prompt depends on hidden infrastructure that consumes energy, water, and continuous resources - turning small, invisible actions into a growing physical impact at scale.

  • Prompted vs Created

    Prompted vs Created

    AI can create impressive images through prompting, but unlike human art, it lacks the lived experience and process that give creation its deeper meaning.

    AI is no longer a visible tool we choose to use, but an invisible layer shaping actions, decisions, and outcomes - often without us even realizing it.
