The Fourier Transform isn't even Fourier's deepest insight. Unless we're now ranking scientific discoveries based on whether or not they get a post every weekend on HN.
The FFT is nifty but that's FINO. The Google boys also had a few O(N^2) to O(N log N) moments. Those seemed to move the needle a bit as well.
But even if we restrict to "things that made Nano Banana Pro possible" Shannon and Turing leapfrog Fourier.

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed there is a weekly (or more) post on what Fourier transform is.
