        Fun fact: the original Matrix script actually had the machines using humans for processing instead of as energy output.

        Studio execs thought it was too far fetched and made them change it.

          It would be more plausible today. Big AI networking our brains as a big neural net that doesn’t consume too much energy compared to the alternatives, slow but very efficient if you’re looking at the long term; but that brings up the fact that the first thing it’d do in that case is find a way to get rid of all that unnecessary flesh wasting its resources and turn us into brains in jars.
