Now the corporate solution is to try and replace the horse with AI and sink further

It's wild that the metaphor would still work.

Replace the man in the cart with the "cloud" AI and the one horse would be capable of removing the wagon without the weight of the man, and the whip.

It could even generate phrases for the like "You're absolutely Neigh"

But that's not how we will use AI...

Almost. The corporate solution nowadays is for the guy who owns all of the carts to replace the horses with AI, fire half of the drivers, then demand the remaining drivers take two carts every trip.

Except a train needs stronger engines. You'd need a long string of carts with horses attached left and right doing the pulling. You'd need less drivers though.
