In The Matrix, humans were used as batteries. The energy requirements needed by a body to sustain itself outweigh feeding it to extract energy. It would’ve been more efficient to burn the food directly instead of feeding it to people.
That’s really interesting but I think that suffers from a similar issue because I’d assume the processing power needed to run the matrix alone would be much greater than 1:1 per human.
Originally it was humans being used for their brains as processing units, but they thought thatd be too confusing for audiences so they went with batteries.

In the original script, they were used for processing power, but the C-suites made them change it because they feared spectators wouldn’t understand.
Kinda like The Attic in Dollhouse
More like they changed it because the C-suite didn’t understand
They would have made poor processing units

They needed special kind of problem solving computation, that only human brains can do. Like generating text or something.
That’s why it’s called sifi… Is based loosely on the myth that humans only use 10% of their brains.
Sience, bitches!
