You wish you were in The Matrix. The robots on that one were much nicer to humanity than humanity deserved.
Even taking the idiotic “humans as energy sources” justification at face value, the fact they didn’t go all I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream on humanity after humans took the most imbecilic and morally reprehensible path at every turn, shows they got out of their way to not be the bad guys.
I recently had a thought that they should retcon this so that the humans were basically GPUs. In the simulation they have lots of people doing complex processing because it’s the late 90s in the simulation. People grind a lot of thinking.
It’s just like websites that scam you into processing bitcoin mining. But with human brains.

IIRC the original script apparently had humans being used as CPUs, but it was decided that people wouldn’t get it.
Here I am 27 years late to the party.
how dare you
Yeah, I mean, I can’t deny that.
