Every Albert, Alfred, or Alphonso who goes by “Al” getting confused with bots right now…

I often ask my friend Alan to review what I've created, so I can tell people it has been enhanced with Al.
I used to read"Weird Al" as "AI" even before the LLM craze.
Perhaps there are people named “Alexa” who started using “Al” after Amazon’s launch. Talk about bad luck.
Fun fact: Weird Al has spent the last 2 years finding comments on videos of his songs that say "Is this AI-generated?" and responding "It's Al-generated!"
