All the time.
Literally did it a few minutes ago.
A sub notification pop up “banned AI in sub” and it took re-reading it to realize it wasn’t about banning someone named Al.
Al is a “person” that happens to post obsessively to every single subreddit on this site. Using the most bland, characterless language known to humankind, including the ones that don’t allow ai content because he thinks he’s sneaky and nobody will notice that he replaced the em dashes with ellipses.
I grew up as a sci-fi nerd. AI has been, and always will be, the technological meaning rather than the name. In 33 years I’ve only personally known 1 person with the name Al.

At least you didn’t say A1. While public speaking. Multiple X

This has been a problem in the r/WeirdAl sub lately
Yes because a lot of fonts don’t have serifs on the i so it looks like an l
Yeah, but as a fan of Quantum Leap, I just like to pretend I’m talking to Al.
Thought I would type it out due to my own curiosity.
The L and I look a little different in the font on my Pixel.
Al – AI
Looks like the L is tall and skinny, and the I is stubby and slightly less skinny.
No, but now I will 🤦♂️
The opposite happens for me actually.
Alphonse Elric
This is why I hate fonts without serifs.
Only AI I acknowledge is Allen Iverson
Yeah, whoever decided that capital I’s shouldn’t have those little lines on the top and bottom should be shot. I’m looking at you Apple.
IlIlllIIIIllll
Which one is a capital I and which one is a little L? NO ONE KNOWS!
Me! All the time. Poor Al.
YES! Can’t they/we use a different font or something? I always have to read it twice and feel so dumb.
AIAl
The I (I i ) is slightly shorter than the first A, but the l (L l) is slightly taller than the second A (both A’s are identical)
Ill Al
It’s the shitty font design.

I just had the opposite problem. I was reading about Weird Al Yankovic and I kept thinking A.I.
I thought weird Al was making a comeback
If only there was a way to distinguish Al from A.I. 🤷♂️
I default read it as avian influenza because of my work
I refuse to write it like that. To me it shoulda been Ai. But that would’ve taken intelligence soon as it was coined.

Yes!! And then I think of Happy Days and I start humming the theme song. Monday, Tuesday, Happy Day!!!
