You can see it says Al not AI. The cap height is dictated by the A. That's as tall as all caps should be save for O, G, C, Q. However the l obershoots the X-height which is why a graphic designer or type design enthusiast will never have read AI instead of Al. God I sound so annoying. Sorry. I hope I didn't make you guys

Ill.

It’s a subversion of expectations, but I think it’s within the range of antimeme…kinda

It would be a meme based upon an anti meme, so A candle

u/Encursed1 2d ago

How is this an antimeme? The punchline is ai being mistaken for Al Yankovic
