Weird Al vs Weird AI

 ONE

The following headline confused me:
 

                  Trump, 79, Deletes Weird AI Video Shilling Magic Beds (see here). 

Was Weird Al selling magic beds? Magic beds?! How does that relate to President Trump? What’s going on?

The problem is the font: a capital I (as in AI) can look like a lowercase l (as in Al).
So the headline should really be:

Trump, 79, Deletes Weird Artificial Intelligence Video Shilling Magic Beds.

This case is particularly confusing because:

a) Weird AI videos clearly means Videos that Weird Al has that go with his songs. 

While we’re on this topic, here are some Weird Al videos related to computer science or math:

Don't Download This Song 

 It's all about the Pentiums

 Polka Patterns 

The first two  songs are dated but I still like them. They also show that Weird Al has had (and still has) a long career. 

b) The story, even when understood completely, is really weird.

THREE

0) The one with Weird AI Songs is the most confusing since that clearly means songs by Weird Al. 

1) Am I the first person to notice this? Of course not-- see here

2) Has someone used this confusion? Of course--see here

3) Will this confusion help or hurt Weird AL's career? Time will teLL.
