I'm of two minds about the term "AI fatigue" because it's not a correct description of the phenomenon — it's implying that these AI widgets were at some point useful — but it's evidence that even ardent boosters are facing a level of resistance they can't ignore.

Agreed that “fatigue” doesn’t quite fit. There is fatigue, I think, but from more than just AI. Constant and rapid change is exhausting to human brains and tech is largely not a restorative tool. The roll out of AI into everything has been rushed and it’s not making lives demonstrably better.
