Summary
"Weird Al" Yankovic pulled out of a commercial about a week before filming after learning the product was for AI, not generic business software.
The parody musician said he was offered a "nice pile of money" but refused because he does not want to be the "poster boy for AI."
Speaking to Syracuse.com ahead of a stop on his "Bigger & Weirder" tour, Yankovic said he felt bad about withdrawing late but was "not down with that."
