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

            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.

    In case one didn’t know: we do this in part since our anatomy does handle high temperatures better than foreign organisms. Hence it disrupts their lifecycle aiding in defense.
