A satirical post mocking defensive regulatory statements about AI. The author invents a fictional "National Committee of Horses" declaring that cars may assist horses but cannot be licensed or certified to transport passengers — an analogy aimed at statements like "AI can assist professionals but cannot be licensed to practice," ridiculing protectionist limits on new technology.
