Al > AI
Aye
This is hurting my eye.
He's greater than a lot of things. Stand up human being.

Weird Al is a national treasure, an institution. I'd bet it's his sort of music, parody, that AI threatens most simply because it's riffing on songs that already exist.
On the other hand, the only reason I'd worry that a gen-AI could attempt a masterpiece like "Alternative Polka" is that Weird Al created it first.
Weird Al does a lot more than just parody. He has a lot of original music as well. My wife and I saw him do an “unplugged” concert a couple years ago that was only original music and not a single parody.
The Ridiculously Self Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour? I wanted to see that show but couldn't make it happen.
Yeah, that sounds right. I’d honestly forgotten how many original songs he’s written. I just realized there’s a comprehensive list here.
That sounds cool!
In case the size of Weird Al's balls was in question, here's his response to a fan when the people who have the rights to his movie didn't release it right away in Australia.

it's like actors appearing in gambling ads. I immediately lose respect and am disinterested in any new features they are in, as I just can't separate them from such a despicable role
Yep, same for me lately, seeing actors shilling bullshit is just like......why? Their millions just isn't enough, need mmoooooorrrre.
I've been seeing a lot of Beckham.

Yankovic is well into the "I don't fucking give a fuck" stage of life and could easily have just said "Fuck yeah" like a certain pot smoking rapper performing at a controversial political event or the comedians that are OK with blood money.
I am happy people like him exist.
edit: typo/spaling fix
He's been in that stage since before Another One Rides The Bus... so like, always.

LIVING LEGEND + NATIONAL TREASURE = WEIRD AL
I am extremely wary of putting people on pedestals, especially people who I don't even know personally. I will say though, the shit Weird Al keeps doing has me saying 'well good for you, hell yeah' pretty much always.
Yeah there are a few famous people in this world that actually seem to be in that camp. Keanu Reeves, Terry Crews, Weird Al, Steve Wozniak, Bernie Sanders......those are just a few of the rare ones I like.
Saw his concert very recently, he's the goat, very fun
He also turned down a $5 million offer to do a beer commercial in the 1980s because he didn't want to promote alcohol to his fans. This guy is a legend.
~~Weird Al~~
Proper Alphonse
Normal Alfred
I can't tell the difference between Al and AI
Al stands for Absolute Legend.
The easiest way to tell AI from Al is to remember that AI is Al and Al sounds like AI
The first one uses U+006C l LATIN SMALL LETTER L and the second one utilizes U+0049 I LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I
If we compare them side by side (U+006C is placed before U+0049):
lI
It's obvious that U+006C is taIler than U+0049.
To tell the difference between Al and AI, just look at the height of the second letter.
If the second letter is taller, OP wanted to write Al as in Weird Al Yankovic. If the second letter is the same height as the first, the user wrote AI as in Artificial Intelligence. If the second letter is shorter than the first, OP is either using a Turkic keyboard or being an idiot.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk

Weird Al doesn't want to become Shitty AI.
Don't do it Al. Don't make me love you more.
knew as a kid i picked him as a hero of mine for a reason.
He's one of the only celebrities that I feel like has stood the test of time and not been revealed as a shitty person

I always admired Weird Al and now I admire him even more.
Based.
❤️
Good for him, but it really is a shame that this mindset is rare enough to warrant a news article.
Good Guy Al
Not to be confused with good guy AI
We love you Weird Al

Desperation to make money by any means necessary is tasty as fuck.
AI will kill the biggest idiots that invested in it and i'm all for it, financially i mean.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
