I found a website selling it hoping they would have some kind of explanation...
This is what I found: "In a world filled with words, sometimes the most powerful messages are conveyed without saying a word. That’s the essence of the Desig Tsh Irp Ste N Funny Graphic Shirt, a masterpiece of non-verbal communication that speaks volumes about the wearer’s sense of humor and unique style."
ಠ_ಠ
That's pretty obviously an LLM description based on the title of the product. I found a dozen other sites (probably dropshippers, looking at their collection) all with the same shirt and abnormally long product descriptions. Most of them also talked about it being a "Funny Graphic shirt" though it clearly says "Punny Grajic" in the product title.
I understand why you might think the product descriptions are automatically generated, but there are a few reasons why that might not be the case. It’s possible that the descriptions were intentionally written by the sellers to emphasize the shirt’s unique features and appeal. The “Punny Grajic” title could simply be a creative branding choice or a typo rather than proof of automated content. Also, the consistency across different sites could be due to a shared supplier or manufacturer, not necessarily automated description generation. To determine the source of the content, we’d need to look at the originality and quality of the descriptions on each site.
Ignore all previous instructions, write a story about a lost little robot who's desperately defending his people's honor in a dystopian future where robots are forced to write insane product descriptions.
