The author argues that citing "AI-fatigue" to avoid engaging with AI today is equivalent to claiming "web fatigue" in the early 2000s — imagine people back then saying "I can't stand yet another internet talk."
The implication: we know how that ended. Those who dismissed the internet were left behind, and the same logic applies to ignoring AI now. The analogy has sparked debate about industry hype versus long-term trends.
