Not really. The total computing power available to humanity per person has likely gone down as we replaced “self driving” horses with cars.

People created those curve by fitting definitions to the curve rather than data.

You can't disprove global warming by pointing out an extra cool evening.

But I don't understand your point even as stated. Cars took over from horses as technology provided transport with greater efficiencies and higher capabilities than "horse technology".

Subsequently transport technology continued improving. And continues, into new forms and scales.

How do you see the alternative, where somehow horses were ... bred? ... to keep up?
