Since everybody wants AI cancelled nowadays, that’ll just be… Weird.

I hadn’t heard about this. Somehow it doesn’t surprise me though.

I think they’re saying people want to cancel ai, not AL - and playing on how in most fonts capital i and lowercase L look the same.

I think that was the commenter’s intent, so don’t feel too bad

I’m sorry you feel dumb, and you don’t need to - we all have our “whoosh” moments. I only intended to clear the air regarding my long time hero Weird Al.
