Ahead of a Syracuse, New York, stop on his “Bigger & Weirder” tour, Yankovic revealed to Syracuse.com in an interview published this week that he was offered “a nice pile of money” to appear in a commercial for business-focused software, but he backed out once he realized the ad would involve AI. “I’m not a fan of AI,” he said.

    Yankovic is well into the “I don’t fucking give a fuck” stage of life and could easily have just said “Fuck yeah” like a certain pot smoking rapper performing at a controversial political event or the comedians that are OK with blood money.

    I am happy people like him exist.

        I dunno. There was that one point in his life where he alienated all of his friends because of his infatuation with Madonna. Though I guess he got better after killing Pablo Escobar but refusing to join Madonna in becoming drug lords, for which she had him assassinated.
