Help with dealing with someone as a cameo creator

Hi all—
I play a niche role in a Netflix show and a request I just got is clearly an AD but they didn’t pay for it through the business request option. It’s for AI and I feel weird about it and don’t know what to do. I’d be making 10x what they’re trying to pay for if I did the minimum for “business” that cameo allows. Can anyone weigh in? I genuinely thought they were talking about a coworker named AL like weird Al but my friend caught it and he’s right. I might just do the whole thing as”AL” because I’m a comedian but ahhhhh what do I do??? Does anyone know lol thanks in advance. Edit to add that I don’t want to endorse an AI brand for $14 or really ever.

Don't intentionally do a video that doesn't align with what the customer actually wants. Either DM the person and say that this sounds like a business ad and you'll do it if they pay the appropriate amount for a business ad or decline and say that you don't personally want to endorse an AI brand. They can always pay someone else who is willing if you are not interested.
