But AI models in no way free you from work and they are hardly relaxing.
If anything, they "free" people from understanding but that's an activity that many if not most people value highly.

I think that might have been their point. People moving work to AI so they can "relax" by working on more complicated technical matters (or more AI) are the businessmen, and the meteorologists just chilling out predicting the weather as best as they can with science are the fishermen.
Edit: Just saw their reply to you, so maybe I was wrong about the parable coming across wrong.

Okay.
I mean, yeah, if you want 90% of your relaxation time for the rest of your life to be while you're fishing, that's fine.
For the businessman to assume otherwise is not outlandish. The idea of an entire fleet is overblown, but having "fuck you money" is a pretty nice goal.

Also I don't see how this applies to meteorologists? Which part is the "working more" aspect?
"If you worked more, you'd catch more fish," the businessman said.
"And what would my reward be?" asked the fisherman with a smile.
"You could earn money, buy bigger nets, and catch even more fish!" the businessman replied.
"And then what?" the fisherman asked again.
"Then, you could buy a boat and catch even larger hauls!" said the businessman.
"And after that?"
"You could buy more boats, hire a crew, and eventually own a fleet, freeing you to relax forever!"
The fisherman, still smiling, replied, "But isn't that what I'm already doing?"
