Yeah it’s way too much of a cliché at this point.

I think we're more at the point (or beyond) of it being deliberately obnoxious as a failed attempt at humor. But maybe I'm underestimating just how idolized that original paper is.

At any rate, by now I'm erring on the side of not promoting or citing them.

Based on a quick googling, apparently the original paper is "One kitchen is all you need" by Sister Eudocia, Isabelle DeVerneil, and Jane Hildebrandt, published in Modern Hospital vol. 79 issue 3, pages 120-122, 1952. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12992940/
Funny, I always assumed it was a Beatles joke.
“Attention is all you need” is definitely a Beatles joke.
