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.
I am extremely wary of putting people on pedestals, especially people who I don’t even know personally. I will say though, the shit Weird Al keeps doing has me saying ‘well good for you, hell yeah’ pretty much always.
Yeah there are a few famous people in this world that actually seem to be in that camp. Keanu Reeves, Terry Crews, Weird Al, Steve Wozniak, Bernie Sanders…those are just a few of the rare ones I like.
