The saying “to push my buttons” usually refers to provoking someone. The designers of this t-shirt, however, seem to have gone for a literal interpretation: here, “pushing buttons” is meant to symbolize typing on a keyboard – a pretty clunky attempt to connect humor with tech. Yikes.

Actually, this design fail gives the phrase an unintentional double meaning. Instead of being a cute, nerdy gag, the shirt now offers a glimpse into a world where “buttons” are suddenly very real – and no longer just metaphorical. A warning sign for anyone getting a little *too* cozy with artificial intelligence projects, perhaps?
