The idea is more lanes on the highway means more traffic means slower (even though you added a lane!). What goes off of this is what's called "Palin's Corrolary", which is to make traffic faster it's best to have fewer lanes. Politicians apply various techniques for this such as perpetual construction or allocating vast swaths of asphalt for bicycles, to make the traffic flow faster.

So it does make sense that in fact slower chips will make AI faster, and punch cards will make software development faster, as the inverse of these proposed trends.
