Love Weird Al Hate weird AI

California Man Correctly Identifies Career Suicide; Sidesteps.

Good guy Al.

Good, his music is the only Al generated one I need.

I am all for the proliferation of (Weird) Al in everything, particularly when using sans-serif fonts.

I saw him perform two years in a row at the local fairgrounds. The second show he says "For those of you that were here last year... this show is exactly the same!" and it was still great! He's one of the real ones.

Respect

Good guy Weird Al.

Of course he can't be the poster boy for AI, he's already the poster boy for awesome :)

Al Yankovic has always been an awesome dude. I was a big fan in the 90s but have since outgrew him. I listened to his Greatest Hits Vol. 2 CD recently on streaming, and it's cool, but it just doesn't hit the same. I still appreciate him as an artist, though, and for how respectful he is of the original work he's lampooning.

I do fear AI will replace him for later generations. Parodies not done by Al were often credited to Al, even when they were dirty or profane (Al would never).

I feel like he should parody You Can Call Me Al by Paul Simon. I mean, it's right there. "You Can Call Me Paul." If Paul says you can call him Al (the song title is from a misunderstanding that actually happened), Al can call himself Paul, at least for a joke. I'm sure somebody has done this, but it would make more sense if their name was Al.

The Weird Al has out-AI -ed the AI. 🤭

On a different note, who the hell is this guy’s hairdresser? He must be literally rolling in money from all the royalties and cameo appearances in the Naked Gun, and still he looks like a sheep in the rain after eating a bowl of cold spaghetti bolognese. At least his billionaire chums Musk, Bezos, Gates and Zuckerberg have decent haircuts (top and around the private parts I may add).
