There was a guy on TikTok whose daughter (~10 yo) had discovered a "Weird A.I." that could "take any song and make it funny".

I had noted a few weeks ago that Hacker News used a font without serifs, causing confusion. I'm not sure when they changed that, but there are now serifs on the capital I and lower case "l".

This headline is much less confusing for the change. Thanks.

It depends on browser defaults. On Brave and Chrome, I don't see serifs, and on Firefox I do.

On HN you have a choice and browser styling. In many social media mobile apps, you really don't. It's their style or the highway.

I'm on Firefox and I don't see serifs. Might be OS dependent as well.

I was in my car with my seven-year-old when the Paul Simon song "You Can Call Me Al" started playing. She saw it pop up on the infotainment screen, and wanted to know why anybody would want to be called A.I. (our household has a low opinion of A.I., largely due to the unending firehose of slop aimed at children on YouTube).

Good song though.
