> Even with evidence staring them in the face, carriage companies still did not pivot, assuming cars were a fad.

I like this quote. But this analogy doesn’t exactly work. Withe this hype cycle, CEOs are getting out and saying that AI will replace humans, not horses. Unlike previous artisans making carriages, the CEOs saying these things have very clear motivations to make you believe the hype.

Moreover, there was at least one company which did pivot --- the Chevy Malibu station wagon my family owned in the mid-70s had a badge on the door openings:

>Body by Fisher

which had an image of the carriages which they had previously made.
