  Verdict:  real art/engineering demonstration, not a guaranteed invisibility cloak. The pepper-like pattern can confuse a YOLO-style object detector under demonstration conditions, but it does not stop cameras from recording, does not guarantee protection from facial recognition or multi-camera tracking, and was not proven against every police or commercial surveillance system.  What “peppers” are  The “peppers” are the bright blob/pepper-like visual pattern on Simon Weckert’s Digital Camouflage shirt. It is adversarial clothing: a pattern designed to lower a machine-vision model’s confidence that it is seeing a person.  What it can do   Under specific conditions, it can make a YOLO-style detector fail to draw a stable “person” box.  It turns a privacy concern into a visible public protest against opaque surveillance.  It demonstrates a weakness in object-recognition systems that are treated as neutral public-safety infrastructure.   Limits    Claim  Evidence label    Defeats YOLO-style person detection in demos.  Supported with limits.    Defeats all AI cameras.  Not proven.    Makes you physically invisible.  False.    Stops later human review, face recognition, gait tracking, thermal or multi-sensor systems.  Not proven.
