Sorry. I have some Lesswrong bias.
Google statistics on Less Wrong:
AI (second i): 2400 hits
Al (second L): 318 hits (mostly in “et al.” and “al Qaida”, without capital A)
By the way, are these two strings distinguishable when written in the font of this site? Seem to me the same.
You’re right—they’re pixel-for-pixel identical. That’s a bit problematic.
Maybe that’s why cryptographers say “Alice” rather than “Al.”
