      I heard it was supposed to be using human brains essentially as processing power, but they thought audiences would understand “batteries” better I guess lol.

        Which also means, that a lot of the machines developed to kill humans and the computation to direct said machines is made by humans themselfes. Hell, the Matrix itself could be just a product of human “brain-calculations”, which is also a nice metaphor for the world. We basically enslave ourselves and barely anyone notices or cares, because we are all caught in the system.
