He's the one who could get away with it, if he did it right.

    Weird Al is a creative. Embracing AI at all is the wrong way. There is no right way to offload your humanity to an algorithm.

    But also his name looks the same in sans serif fonts and he is a parody guy. So there are ways he could get away with it.

    I'm saying he could either get away with selling his soul and not damage his rep too much, or go down to that crossroads, pull out his accordian, and potentially be the last man standing (on another pile of money)
