The word "al" means "the" in Arabic - for example, "al jazeera" means "the island". And a lower case L looks like a capital i, so "AI" is visually indistinguishable from "Al". So the joke is that people who try to shoehorn Artificial Intelligence into everything look like they're speaking in Arabic.
