I’d argue that the introduction of the Internet and mobile phones were more drastically technological transformations.

We’re in the early innings of the AI transformation. You might be right but we’re talking about less than 5 years of AI, versus decades for what you cited

The transformation of the Internet happened in just a few years in the 90s, same for mobile phones.

If you’re claiming “decades” for the transformation of the internet, by the same measure one could argue that AI started in the 60s. If you’re saying “less than 5 years”, what exactly are you considering “AI” ?

that is covered by a bullet point in the linked slide deck, but it seems they can claim faster adoption, as people already have those things. a computer in 1990 was crazy expensive, then infrastructure for ISPs, etc. it seems supremely disingenuous.
