The original story for The Matrix had the machines use the humans as AI computing devices, not power sources (which doesn’t make a lot of sense). It just turned out too difficult to explain to the viewers.

They even mention switching the simulation from a sort of garden-of-Eden because people reject too comfortable an environment. Human brain as a compute device… might make sense as an accelerator for certain communication or approximate spacial reasoning tasks?
