Many people--famous people--scholars, scientists, engineers, philosophers and neuro-scientists are concerned about AI。People such as Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak, Sam Harris, the late Stephen Hawking、Nick Bostrom .... Here, Don and Jon are discussing AI too:
Don: What'ya have against AI?
"What'ya" means "what do you..." / "What do you have against..." means Why don't you like___?
Jon: Not AI--unregulated AI.
Jon is saying: It's not AI that I am talking about/that I don't like; it's unregulated AI. / Regulation ("unregulated") is government laws that protect us from companies and the damage they do when they only think about profit-or when they overlook safety, citizen rights and the environment. Jon is concerned about AI developing without limits on its power.
Don: Leave it to the consumer!
Leave it (to) ____ means "let ____ take care of it." Don is saying: Let the market decide what AI will be like.
Jon: Like the Internet?
This should be "Like with the internet?")
Don: What's wrong with that?
What's wrong with the internet?)
Jon: Fraud, no privacy, election-tampering, cancel-culture, doxing?
All the things Jon mentions are examples of what Jon thinks is wrong with the internet; he mentions this to say that the internet--though we love it--compromises our lives at the same time that it helps us.This is a big issue among philosophers, scientists and other academics.
Cancel-culture is the situation where netizens and social media platforms ban users because they don't like what those users have said--even if what they said was just the truth, or scientific facts or sensitive.
Doxing (from "document dropping") is taking someone's personal information--or a company's corporate information--and releasing it on the internet in order to bring harm to that person or company.
Don: I don't know what that means.
Don is not into issues, particularly AI, so doesn't know what's going on about that issue or the internet.
Jon: We need regulation.
