The first three letters are D N T, but the last two don't appear to be valid characters. Caveat, I'm just using online references, I don't actually know Braille.

It's valid contracted Braille. The last two characters are out/ou and ch.
I didn't know contracted Braille was a thing. See? I said I didn't really know Braille. Thanks for teaching me something!
No problem! The extra fun part is that ch can also be the abbreviation for child, although the spacing and context obviously settles that ambiguity. So, you could maybe read this as "do not toutchild" if you wanted to be silly.
That does not look like brail no me.
Is this slop or am I wrong?
It's a frame copied from a video
If you enter "do not touch" in an online braille translator it produces the characters for ,d n t|* for some reason...
Apparently it's contracted braille.
Contracted (Grade 2) braille is used by more experienced braille users. It uses the same letters, punctuation and numbers as uncontracted (Grade 1) braille but adds a series of special signs to represent common words or groups of letters, a bit like a kind of shorthand.
Books, magazines and other information tends to be produced in contracted braille, to cut down on size. Contracted braille produces much less bulky books and magazines.

This do not touch tag is a 3d print, the print creator says they made it using a braille translator website. Other braille "Do Not Touch" tags use some different braille letters for parts, and I don't know enough about it to tell what the difference is. (edit: it's contracted braille)
Regardless, doesn't seem to be an AI image.___
