Having the first name of Al must be frustrating as it looks so much like AI.

  My wife’s coworker girlfriend named “alexa” and he never go out for drinks and so after work because she didn’t let him, so they always tease him with “Alexa, can I go out to get a beer” “Permission denied. Come home immediately”. When they broke up and he got a new girlfriend, they named her Siri and joked that it was a upgrade because she let him drink with them after shift.

    He invented the internet, it’s all his fault, no wonder it’s named after him

  What’s also frustrating is “al” is a word in Dutch, meaning although or everything. It’s often used at the start of a sentence, thus capitalised and indistinguishable from AI. After reading too much about A.I., which is unavoidable nowadays, it messes with reading everything, because every now and then a sentence starts with “al” and your brain messes up and you have to go back.

  That’s why I try to always type it out as A.I., in order to ensure there’s little confusion.

  Weird Al should do a parody of you can call me Al by Paul Simon, but change it to you can call me AI
