Its more accurate to ask, which parts are the AI workhorse; the head or the body?
If it's the body then AI is helping you (the head) to do hard tasks which probably fits your definition of a cyborg. If it's the head as in the reverse centaur, then you (the body) are doing all the work for an AI model.
I think the argument is that at this point the use of AI has been found to be more useful for tasks that's managers and bosses perform than more technical tasks that would be assigned to employees underneath them. And if those managers were replaced by AI then you would have a tireless manager overseeing workers doing more difficult work that do tire out but are expected to keep up with demands from the management.
